Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 21st Edition (Thumb Index Version)

I needed something I could read more easily than my small print Tabers, and having the enlarged print option is wonderful. Even though I am a retired R.N. now, I refer to it often. It helps keep me current on new things in the medical field, and it is user friendly and up to date. The price wasn't too bad either considering all the information it holds, and of course the ease of carrying it around instead of the hard cover book is an added plus. Having it along on my last vacation was handy a couple of times also when I wished to learn more about exposure to ebola, for instance as well as other conditions to which one could possibly be exposed, precautions, incubation times, etc. Not only refreshing my mind on those things one doesn't hear about often, plus putting one's mind at ease when away from home and away from regular doctors. Thanks for providing this book!

I love this dictionary! It’s very useful for medical terminology class and it was well packaged and looks new! There’s also a code one can use for online access! It had been very well maintained and the value for money is 100%

Got to love Taber's. I know we're all going to online info but the book is very helpful and VERY accurate. It will pay for itself in saved time very quickly. AND, in a pinch it will fit in your backpack (it does weigh a couple pounds though). If you need the most current edition, its still not expensive. But if you can work with something a few years old, the 21st edition is a bargain. I got mine new for under $10 shipped, used is even less. Fyi, if you haven't used Taber's before JSUK: the pages are VERY thin (to keep the weight down they use what looks like onionskin paper). You need some finger dexterity to use & even then it can be a pain.

Just about anything you could ever need to lookup is neatly organized in this handy, space saving reference book.As this is my 1st Taber's I really can't say how different/updated it actually is from previous versions, and I haven't delved too deeply into the online/smartphone app companions...What I do know is that this is a MUST for Nsg. school - the extra weight in my book-bag everyday is worth the ability to cross-reference terms presented in our textbooks on the fly.The BEST thing about Taber's is how helpful it is in clinicals. Don't understand what the Dr. just said about your patient's condition? Taber's is there to demystify.I love how comprehensive it is and the ranges of terminology covered. I've also been able to find clarifications on "non-medical" terms I've come across in my studies.

The Version 21 book has great illustrations and reading the text on the page, rather than a screen, I found helps to reinforce your memory of the terminology.The CD which came with the package only runs when it is in the CD Drive, you cannot copy it or load it onto acomputer, so it is slow. The online version you must subscribe or upgrade to it for additional annual cost, the last time I checked. The CD is no longer offered, a mobile version is available now. Having the book itself is all you need.

I needed a medical dictionary for my Medical Billing and Coding course, and since I had worked previously as a Certified Nursing Assistant at a well-known rehab in Philadelphia, I chose Tabors. This rehab has Tabors on every floor, so I used it often while I was employed there. I am very thrilled to have it, and once I found out how to use it on my Kindle, I have medical terminology at my fingertips! THANK YOU! My Kindle was purchased for me as a Christmas present two years ago, and I haver never had a problem with it, nor would I trade it for anything else! Again, THANK YOU!

This is the BEST medical dictionary I have used. I have been doing medical transcription for 8 years and this is the only dictionary I use now. In the beginning, I tried other dictionaries but this one was far superior to any of the others. I haven't even gotten around to using the CD that came with this dictionary because the book itself serves my needs. Many entries are cross referenced and a lot of entries offer clinical information, such as how the condition is diagnosed and how to treat it, which comes in handy when trying to decipher a medication or a lab test that goes with a certain condition. I highly recommend this medical dictionary and will always have one as long as I am transcribing.

Package of Tabers Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Thumb-indexed Version + Taber sPlus DVD), 21st Edition + Nursing Health Assessment, 2nd Edition In a family of nurses, a great deal of advice and argument goes on about medical references. In the ever changing, improving new ones with all sorts of media available, it becomes more of a choice out there. Tabors Medical Dictionary is one that seems to find agreement with everyone. In spite of all the new and valuable data out there, this legendary standard is still proven to be the handiest, most concise, and most useful volume on the shelf. Now that if offers a CD version, it will be doubly useful.

Needed it for school and couldn't afford the load of books I needed new. So thank you so much for selling it cheaper so a student could afford it.

Full of knowledge.

I passed the course

World class medical dictionary at an unimaginably rock bottom price. It has everything. This voluminous book in its 2800+ pages packs wealth of highly comprehensible information for professional and laymen alike. A COMPLETE Medical Dictionary. If your home does'nt have a Taber's you are missing something.

Overall the product is good...the pages are in good position, the print is good, also the CD is available.... But I am a bit disappointed because I have paid high for this old edition... The others are selling the new the new edition at a lower price as this one.... So I would recommend the new edition at low cost value.
