Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone has a preference for a specific medical dictionary? I heard that Dorland's and Stedman's were both good. Anyone prefer one over the other, or a different one completely?

I don't have a PDA (yet!) so just a good desk reference is fine.

Thanks!

I use Stedmans because it came with Lexi-Complete on my PDA. I think there's some free ones online, too. Here's one:
