Review of Stedman's Medical Dictionary (Hardcover)

I am in the health insurance industry, going to school to become a medical coder. This dictionary has been very helpful to me.I believe that this dictionary is geared more toward people that already have a knowledge of medical terminology, as when you look up a word, the definition sometimes is so complex that if you are not familiar with terms, you'll find yourself looking up another word just to define the original definition!This is not a bad thing, as it keeps you learning and learning is power; however if you do not like this type of thing, you may want to look around for another type of medical dictionary. Personally, I love this dictionary.
