 Rating:  - Was expecting a little more ...Not as in depth as I would have liked, but I guess it's hard to do that in a "coat-sized" book. Overall, it's okay ... just nothing that lights my world on fire. Rating: - Good... but not greatI bought this book at the beginning of my 3rd year medicine rotation and used it for several weeks.

I have owned several editions of this book, but I have never used it, because it is not a practical book. It is short in practical details (like disease management) and long in some other details. If you are looking for a handbook that can help you in clinical practice, forget about this one. There are so many better books out there (Washington, Ferri's,...). ... Read More
