Anyone know any good Online Medical Dictionary??

[WarpedAstro]

Does anyone can advise me any good links to Online Medical Dictionary to help me understand all the medical jargon and effects of chemicals/alkiods, etc...

Any advise/suggestion will be great

gorgeousI reccommend checking the local public or university library for a copy of a medical dictionary on CDROM. You can borrow them "as many times as you like" ;-) I found one at my uni library. Most university libraries will allow you to become a public borrower for a fee that is well worth it usually. You can score all kinds of cool cdroms from uni libraries especially, like neuroscience, pharmacology, biochemistry, botany, horticulture, toxicology, medicine, surgery, you name it. Unis are gold mines for cheap info. In terms of finding online medical definitions, I find the google search engine pretty good for searching for scientific stuff of a general nature. For specifics, PubMed is very good and has a powerful search engine. I can type in all kinds of jargon and get useful results in either method.

good luck,

Seeing as Merck are having some problems over the pond, I thought I'd give them a bit of a plug, actually the second reference to them tonight.

Good online medical dictionary here.
