Now with NEW bonus DVD with 37 chapters and more than 500 brand new images and video clips!



MORE THAN TRUSTED, BEYOND ESSENTIAL . . .



The #1 selling medical textbook worldwide, Harrison's has defined internal medicine for millions of clinicians and students. The new Seventeenth Edition retains Harrison's acclaimed balance of pathobiology, cardinal signs and manifestations of disease, and best approaches to patient management, yet has been massively updated to give you an innovative array of bold new features and content. If ever there was one must-have resource for clinicians and students - this is it!

UNMATCHED EXPERTISE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS



As an unprecedented amount of medical information bombards you and your patients, where do you go to sort it out and make sense of it all? When your patients request clarification on something they've “printed off” where do you turn for expert explanations? The same trusted resource physicians and students have turned to for over fifty years: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. Now more than ever, trust Harrison's to filter and clarify the exploding knowledge base, to highlight the breakthroughs, and to deliver a clear, balanced distillation of the best and most current information on which to base clinical decisions.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A bible for internal medicine
I got a phone call from my brother from India and he asked me to check if 17th edition was available in the USA and I told him YES. He was in euphoria and asked me to purchase and send it to him :) He is working on his MD right now. So we discussed for a few minutes what this book entails and why he thought it was a such a great and the best book on internal medicine and he was pretty descriptive in pointing out differences between this and other books out there so I was pretty convinced at the end ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best, now better
As usual, Harrison's stands out as one of the top medical books available, only this time it does so with a new light. With added topics, a vastly increased image bank, extensive review, and much more, Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine is, more then ever, a must-have for both students and professionals. 16th edition was great, but this edition was far beyond any expectations.
