Good Online Medical Dictionary
I came across a good online medical dictionary this morning, and it’s available from Merriam-Webster, the same Merriam-Webster of the regular old layman’s dictionary fame. It’s actually fairly competent as far as medical dictionaries go, which was a surprise to me. I had to refresh myself on the prefix “sial-” this morning, and sure enough it was in there with the definition, examples, and variants. I’ll definitely be using this great resource more often now, especially since it seems to work pretty well with only parts of words where most others fail.
Now all they need is a medical dictionary dashboard widget. Anyone know of one?
Does this thing speak? I’ve been looking for a mac-compatible medical dictionary.

I believe it’s umbilicus, but I’ll have to doublecheck.
No idea about Mac dictionaries. No online ones I can find do audio pronunciations without a paid membership. Stedman’s used to have software for the Mac that came with its dictionaries, but it ran in OS 9 Classic. Gross.
Cool! Thanks. I’ve missed not having an online med dictionary that I didn’t have to pay for.
