  The dictionary explains in detail diagnosis, treatment, etc of various illnesses and has been helpful in my studies.

• tabers medical dictionary
  Arrived as promised and in a timely manner. Would definitely order again from this person.

• Internet needed
  I ordered this not realizing that I would need internet access to use the CD. While out in the field, I don't have an internet connection available (wireless either). Not being able to use this offline defeated the purpose of purchasing it with the CD.

• Great information
  This book is very helpful. It explains things in plain english. This has been most helpful in my studies.
