Mostly internal medicine.:
Nice book. Mostly internal medicine. Wish it gives a more comprehensive coverage on ambulatory medicine also. I did not find much on basic surgical topics. I couldn't find stye or cold sore on the book. Either that, or maybe I just can't find it.
Excellent annual review.:
The Lange CMDT series is worth the money. Nothing in depth, but authoritative and concise. I use this text often in my teaching medical students in China.
Quick and easy:
This book is easy to read, diseases and conditions are summarized in a student-friendly fashion.
I use it for everything:
I find that I use this book to reference everything medical. It is essentially a bible to me.
