5.0 out of 5 stars No Keyboard Layouts for Webster's Phonetic System
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
I purchased this book mainly for the Webster's proprietary phonetic transcriptions. The definitions of course had these, and their was also a page in the back of the book dedicated to explaining these symbols. However, I found out that there are not any keyboard layouts available to recreate or quote these phonetic transcriptions digitally, so I will be spending considering time programming these into a new layout.

The dictionary has all the words I referenced so far, and the book seems very large and thorough. I guess that is all I have to say. Cheap Medical Dictionary in a medium sized paperback.

The book arrived here right on time and was in conditions of a brand new paper back book. The only objection it was small but my girlfriend loved the fact that it's not the giant book that makes he backpack heaver than it all ready is from all the other medical books that she already have to carry so it a plus.  Merriam-webster's Medical Dictionary . And It seem as if Amazon has even provided a digital copy for me to look though online. Thanks I appreciative and Kudos to those to whom this concerns! I will be purchasing more at a later time, again thank you!

Kindle Edition Review:
Very useful book, I am sure... It downloaded beautifully to my Kindle but did not load on my computer that runs on Windows 8. I called tech support and they are aware of the problem with downloading dictionaries. I bought this with the with the intentions of being able to search from my computer for homework so I am not too happy about it. I would have just bought the paperback if I had known. Reviews led me to believe that I could download it to my computer and somehow use the words in it to add to my computer's dictionary. Any of you who have taken any A&P classes know what I am talking about... You type a word and see it underlined and triple check the spelling before you continue. It gets old really quick. Anyways, I got a good deal on this product so I didn't return it. It has some good stuff for beginning college students going into the medical field. A dictionary is just something you don't want to flip through the pages and the Kindle's search is a little slow. Buy the paperback, it will probably be a little less aggravating to deal with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much needed tool for school

I use this for my schooling. It comes in handy when I am having a hard time with all those medical terms. Got it for my medical coding class mainly I got it brand new, and at first I thought I would just use it a few times. . but I use it in all of my medical classes
I paid full price for this product, and my review is an honest one. Hopefully it will help you decide if its right for you.

I like it!
I don't have 13 words to say & I don't see why its mandatory to have a lot to say about MY purchases ~ either I like it or don't like it ~ why do I have to write a book? why don't you simply put a brief description in the headliner or summary ~ you should be trying to make it easier for clients to want to leave feedback ~ this is to much work!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's o.k.
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
I know this is a small cheaper version of the full sized ones and it only cost around 7.50, but it's missing basic words you would think would be in a Medical Dictionary. I am using it for a class and still have to look online for definitions as these are either not in the book or the definition itself is not explanatory. But for a quick look up for other words, it is handy and small and fits in my purse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2014
Verified Purchase
This dictionary is extremely helpful as I used it alongside my medical terminology textbook. I did encounter that a few medical terms were not found in the book. I did now that this would be the case since I could not find them through the merriam webster's website. However, I will say that I find this dictionary to be quite inclusive of most terms used. And has an expansive provision of medical terms.

This dictionary is very useful for any student in the health care field. It saves having to look up numerous definitions on the internet. There are very few words that I needed to look up that weren't there. For the price, it's a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Integrated with Kindle dictionary lookup features
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2013

I'm not medically trained, but I read a lot of medical literature so I need to be able to lookup key definitions and concepts on the go. I read most of my textbooks and a Readability digest on the Kindle, so it makes sense to be able to carry a medical dictionary on the Kindle. Having previously bought Black's Medical Dictionary, I thought the content was excellent but lamented the lack of Kindle dictionary lookup features which would have added considerably to it's value: [...]

Webster's Medical Dictionary *CAN* be used as a default Kindle dictionary, which goes to show how well the technology can be used. Unfortunately for me, it is written in US rather than UK English and some terminology requires extra lookups for synonyms and alternative spellings. If only Black's would follow suit...
