Excellent book for reference but I can't figure out why the words "erethism" and "colica pectonum" are not included. Now I need a Latin/English dictionary.

You could clobber someone with this book and then look up what your attack did to them with this book. I won a copy and my sister and I went through it reading random entries. It's pretty cool =)

An excellent companion medical dictionary to the classic, Stedman's Medical Dictionary, which is far more pedantic in its approach. Plus, the illustrations in Dorland's are excellent and grouped in a comprehensive way. I had both Stedman's and Dorland's on my shelf as invaluable references.

I read this book a long time ago when I was still in medical school in 2005-2010 (so most likely its older version). Definitely a must-read textbook for medical students, junior physicians, or medical doctors.
