Family Medical Reference Library
© 2000 DK Multimedia
We have been searching for an easy to use, up-to-date family medical guide on CD-ROM. When we saw this product, with its DK brand name and its 2000 copyright date, we thought our quest was over. Unfortunately, it's not— this 3CD set is disappointing. It's actually a compilation of three older CDs dating from 1995-1997, which is light years in terms of health care. The Ultimate Human Body 2.0 and the Ultimate Skeleton are good, solid anatomy references, but what we were most interested in was the American Medical Association's Family Medical Guide CD. On the positive side, this CD offers symptom charts, emergency first aid instructions, 800 articles and a drug glossary. Unfortunately, the CD is very dated and lacking in current information. We'd buy a book instead, or better yet, use the Internet.
