 Not for medical professionals July 28, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a good book. It provides basic information on many topics; however, it is not a worthwhile investment for a medical student. Medical students and doctors are held to a significantly higher standard of knowledge than this book (or really any book of this sort) can offer.
For quick reference you'll do better using UpToDate or any of the numerous electronic references avalable at any good medical school / teaching hospital.
If you are not looking for an MD level of knowledge then this isn't a bad book. Of course you could save your money and get the same thing off the web faster, but that is really personal preference.

This is a lifesaver of an asset for any medical student, human or vet. Highly recommend adding to any college book list!
You can't trust a book by it's cover... October 9, 2007

Good dictionary. However, there are better ones (particularly Tabers). I have less physically attractive medical dictionaries with no color and a boring cover that seem to have the definitions I am looking for when Stedman's doesn't. Adequate dictionary but perhaps Taber's in a better value.
a long-time standard biomedical reference book September 7, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Stedman's is a great reference book with lots of up-to-date information. It's a necessity for anyone involved in any of the branches of biomedicine or the allied health professions.
The only disappointment is the accompanying CD. It is really worthless. It contains artwork and images that are mostly low resolution and add little of value to the written text. If the publishers want to give readers a useful CD or set of CDs, then provide a precis' with as much detail as possible from the entire printed volume in PDF format that can be loaded onto a PC or add some informative animations. But forget about the fuzzy still images.

This is an excellent book. The book is a good source for medical terms and their meanings. There are also nice color illustrations as well. The book also contained a CD-ROM which included a spellchecker and additional images. I highly recommend this book if you are planning to take any medical courses.
