very good resource book for medical students:
I had bought an old edition of stedman's medical dictionary before on my freshman year as a nursing student and did help me a lot, this copy is for a friend of mine whose also a medical student and very glad that I recommended it for her, very good resource book for medical students.
Stedman's Medical Dictionary 28th ed.:
The dictionary is pretty good, once you adjust where to look for certain illnesses (a syndrome may be listed under diease or vice versa).

The error message i receive is not identified on the software website. Beat. I still support the dictionary but don't fuss over the PDA stuff unless you are saavy.
A MUST HAVE FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONS!:

Stedman's is a very good dictionary and has helped me out in many tight spots. I use it along with the PDA version of the Merck Manual and Epocrates. I've had most everything I need to look up a subject with these programs. PROS: Don't have to carry around a big book. Very easy to look up words - just start typing it in and grab from list.
