Review
...the definitions are clear, extensive, and written in simple language and a user who has some medical background will be able to understand them....Libraries may want to purchase this dictionary for their circulating collection. It will be most useful for lawyers, journalists, or 'anyone who needs an understanding of medical terms for their professional activities'. (Arba)
....straightforward and clear, with good cross-referencing....Recommended. Libraries serving people with a British background or institutions where communication between patients and physicians is a high concern. (Choice)
