 Rating:  - Relevance of primary care textbook to my practice.This textbook is very informative and helpful in my current practice as a family physician and geriatrician. The topics are up-to-date and very relevant. Rating:  - Boston baked beansWhen I was a medical student, the attendings (recently elevated residents) really liked this book.

Sometimes it doesn't have the detail I want, but that's what I have Harrison's for and the web. ...

It's contributors are outstanding educators and clinicians from the school of medicine Harvard. Practical, no-nonsense straight to point case management -- it is like having a team of brilliant family physicians to consultant on every aspect of your daily practice. I am a PA and I think this should be on every practitioner's book shelf in family medicine.
