Dorlands Illustrated Medical Dictionary 26TH por William Alexander Newman Dorland

Excellent Medical Reference: My wife and I purchased this book as a graduation present for our daughter who recently graduated from the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, Masters in Speech Pathology program. She loved the book and keeps it in her office for quick reference. She found it immensely helpful and easier to access than the internet. lol
