CONS:Not every word is accompanied by 'graphic illustration,
Bad search engine in Kindle version of this product due to lack of a quick indexing feature turns the e-book version of Dorland’s dictionaries is a waste of time.
In depth explanation, when searches for a particular disease or clinical finding, the search engine "spits out" every single example of the input key words, makes finding the meaning to be difficult and take hours to come out in the sense of what you're looking for a suitable term.
I found a person out there when he search for a definition for the term “melanin”, he found many pages for the same word, this is good for professionals who already know the difference but very difficult with newbie students and layman person, which considered a non-beginners medical terminology dictionary.
