Dorland's Medical Dictionary:
Dorland's Pocket Medical dictionary is among the best medical dictionaries. It is nice and thick - lots of info between those covers.

I highly recommend it to students in the health sciences, medical coders, technicians and degreed health professionals. It would also be a good home reference for the interested layman.
