This is exactly what I need. I, too, am a medical transcriptionist and am very short on desk space so I was looking for a compact dicationary. And lugging/dragging my old Dorland's off the floor every time I need to look up one little word is really getting to me! Soooo, I'm very glad to have found this handy little book. And it's right in my price range, too!! haha!

People...Please do not waste your money on this garbage. It is out of date, inaccurate and either too simplistic or too hard to understand (I am a physician's assistant). I'm not sure why Webster is letting the DREADED DELMAR get hold of their titles to ruin them like they are doing. This is the second piece of crap they've made out of something nice.

As a medical transcriptionist with limited office space in my home, even shelf space for my reference material is limited. I could have gotten a larger, more complete medical dictionary, and frankly there have been times that would have come in handy. But due to space considerations, this almost pocket-sized (yet very thick) volume has been a very pleasant surprise. While some features of larger dictionaries are missing, such as cross-referencing and extensive lists under "syndrome," "disease," etc., in my line of work I usually only need the spelling of such terms rather than definition, and I have specialty books from Stedman's to provide that; for a quick reference to find definitions of the 35,000 terms in this book, I'm thrilled to have an inexpensive, compact reference like this.
