A good medical dictionary is absolutely indispensible for the attorney involved with medical issues. If you purchase only one, it should be Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 30th ed. The world's best-selling medical dictionary and the favorite of medical students and healthcare professionals, Dorland's is easy to read, authoritative, comprehensive, and it shows you how to pronounce those difficult medical terms you've only seen in print, so you don't have to feel like a dummy when consulting with your medical experts. If the word isn't in Dorland's, it probably isn't a medical term. This 30th edition of Dorland's, published in May 2003, is the best edition ever, with color illustrations for the first time and an included CD-ROM providing access to medical terms for your computer's spell-checker and to Dorland's electronic version on the World Wide Web, which is handy if you're working at your computer. Although the list price of Dorland's is $49.95, you can find a better deal by checking out the links at Yahoo's Directory of Book Search Services. Whatever you pay for Dorland's, it's worth its weight in gold!
