My Dorland's agrees with AAMT-BOS definitions.

Link for Dorland's
Dorland's is free for now at Merck's website. I posted this link on the other board for Dorland's:

Hope it helps!

I was dedicated to Dorland's...
Scratched and scraped to spend 84 bucks on this 28th Edition Illustrated Dorlan's years ago. I still love this book and find it easier to find stuff in.

When I started typing for some companies at home I had to get Stedmans. I kept getting these reports back from QA that word were misspelled like B-natruretic corrected to natriuretic. Several words I had learned for years to type a certain way and all of a sudden, because of some concensus, Stedman's was held the preferred dictionary.

So, I finally quit trying to explain that words were spelled correctly like Busulfan and Busulphan! Well I gave in and bought a Stedman's Prem Edit. Med/Pharm CD. It has paid off, but I still love Dorland's!
Dorland's Medical Dictionary nm

I have Dorland's -- prefer it for no particular reason.

Ask you acct for samples to look at. And get the Dorland's
s
I always defer to Dorland's, which lists
curet as the preferred spelling.  Neither is incorrect.  Curette is more characters and I supposed over years and years that could add up.  Maybe I should switch to curette. 
I received one with my dorland Medical Dictionary
And it has been a great help. lp
Use onelook.com to look stuff up and then pick up Dorland's, etc. off of there. Great site! nm

I prefer Dorland's and consider it the "bible" of medical terminology. Others' mileage

Also onelook.com as the Dorland's links right off there. Book would be Tessier's Surgical Word
s
The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years
s
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM

and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition.  Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book.  These are all the books I use the most during my day.  You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.


I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.


Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot.  It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.


I have only used Stedman's. What are some differences in Dorland's and Stedman's?
