Re: Medical Dictionary
Stedman's is pretty much the top dog in med dictionarys, you can subscribe for updates. That way you have the latest drug spellings etc...

I run Stedmans in Word on OSX. You have to open the file in Word then save it as a dictionary file, put it in Microsoft Office/Share Applications/Proofing Tools/ folder. Then in the Word Preferences/Spelling pane install it as a custom dictionary.

Re: Medical Dictionary
not sure if this is what you are looking for, but if you are looking for something simple-ish, there is a word-based one at http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/mwmedical/medical.htm (merriam-webster)

Spell Catcher X is an excellent interactive spell checker with many other capabilities, including a thesaurus and a text editor. I find it invaluable. Spell Catcher comes with a medical dictionary with over 24,000 words.
