medical encyclopedia
Disease reference book
A medical encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work covering diseases, conditions, anatomy, treatments, and health topics.
Traditional versions filled multiple volumes; digital ones like WebMD or MedlinePlus are now more common.
Unlike medical textbooks aimed at professionals, medical encyclopedias target general readers seeking health information: I looked up the symptoms in a medical encyclopedia.
