The annual classic that puts research where it belongs...into your practice
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW "This is for everyone looking for medical information, from house officers, residents, and practicing physicians to patients and family members. There is very little unnecessary text and the book is quite easy to use with a modicum of medical knowledge....This book has the tremendous benefit of being updated yearly and thus has stood the test of time for recognizing what is helpful and what works. It is well worth the price and a great addition to a primary care practitioner's library."--Doody's Review Service

fantastic service:
Thank you for such prompt service! My text arrived in excellent condition! I am a Physician Assistant student and need books/texts to arrive in a timely manner as I need them to reference or study from. Thank you again!

Love this book. Great balance between disease etiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
content good:
content really good but pages are really flimzier than I expected. Always have to handle with kid gloves.
I love this book:
I'm an M4, and I really like this book. It contains information about a lot of diseases encountered in general medicine, but it is not too in-depth. I used it a lot to study for USMLE Step 2CK (in addition to Crush Step 2). I used it as a reference book, reading about topics which I poorly understand. I like the wording. I like the photos in the middle. It is also a great value -- I don't think I even paid $40 for it brand new.
