 A Must Have For Any Medical Student ( tshrimp2000 )
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...
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 ( rwalter51 )
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.

Kendra's Review ( kendrajcolson )
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.

Wonderful illustrations and references ( markymarky )
I am not in the health-care field, but am a big health-care consumer, and read a lot of technical books on various diseases. This dictionary has been invaluable in looking up terms I've encountered in other books, and just for general information. I usually end up with four or five fingers stuck in the book as I read one entry and need or want to look up something from the entry, or just see an interesting page.
A lot of very useful charts, such as abbreviations, blood test descriptions, and more.
