5 STAR DOODYS REVIEW
“The book is for anyone who has the remotest association with the practice of medicine, be they internists, surgeons, nurses, technical staff, or counselors. This is the authority, and in a time of readily available but not always accurate information, this is the one source that can be relied upon….This is one of the absolute pillars of any medical library. It is the final word in internal medicine and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the editors and contributors who have created this extraordinary authority in medicine.”–Doodys Review Service

   I find this book very helpful as reference for my nurse practitioner course. The book came in excellent condition and with fast, free delivery. It is much cheaper to buy it here than in a bookstore.

   I am a PA student and bought this book as part of my required texts. I thought I would use it extensively, but the truth is that this book is immense and impossible to carry around. It easily weighs 10 pounds. As far as the quality of the writing, it is good, top of the line in fact. There is practically no medical question you can ask that will not be answered in this book. But just to study and to understand the cause and treatment of disease I prefer the Current series by Lang. Anything that you really need to know is in Lang and it is considerably more portable and readable.
