"Not a detailed reference"
Version: BEIKS Medical Dictionary for Palm OS 6.0
Summary
I thought this would be a great medical reference tool, but it is literally, JUST a dictionary. It gives great definitions of medical conditions, but that is it. If you're looking for a medical reference tool, then one of the medical encyclopedias is the way to go...

"medical students- do not buy this one!"
Version: BEIKS Medical Dictionary for Palm OS 6.0
Summary
I found this 'medical dictonary' so unhelpful I eventually deleted it off my PDA. Most every word I needed to look up was NOT there. My advice is to pass this product up and keep looking for a real dictionary.

"not very helpful"
Version: BEIKS Medical Dictionary for Palm OS 6.0
Summary
If you are a medical student, as I am, this product is not useful at all. If I know already know the meaning of a word, it is in the dictionary. If I do not know the meaning, it is never in the dictionary. I am looking for a version of Steadman's or something else - this is a waste of memory.

Summary
For advertising as a medical dictionary it does not have a lot of medical words try and look up anything with hypercarbia,hypovolemic,etc, you also have to kno the correct spelling before it will give word - very poor rating

"Poor choice for the medical profesional"
Version: BEIKS Medical Dictionary for Palm OS 6.0

I found this dictionary to be poor. Many comen words were not there not to mention more obscure. If you are a medical professional you will be very disapointed if you purchace this. It isn't even worth the demo!

"Tries to be too "scientifically" broad"
Version: BEIKS Medical Dictionary for Palm OS 6.0
Summary
Numerous medical terms not there and too many other terms from other "sciences" incorporated (wasting precious memory). A medical dictionary should be just that...A Medical Dictionary.
