Summary: This book has saved me thousands of dollars and much anxiety
Review: I bought this book when it first came out and was hoping to find an updated version. I am surprised that more people haven't reviewed this book. I have a whole collection of health/medical books and Symptoms is the only one showing wear. I have turned to this book again and again. It is easy to read and understand and you can find information on most problems. There were times when I would have gone to a doc but found out from this book that I didn't need to and other times when I thought a symptom to be minor that really wasn't. The book helps you decide the best course of action. It helped me through my son's early years and through numerous medical problems for my whole family. You won't be disappointed by this book. Just be sure to keep it handy. You will find yourself using it alot.

Summary: Lets you know what to do when you are clueless.
Review: I first got this book because my mother was out watering plants and a bug flew into her ear and started to borrow. It hurt her bad enough to make her scream. What do you do in this type of situation? This book anwsered that question and has anwsered many more since then. It is a great resource to have for those What do I do situations. A must have for families with kids. I recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Best book you can have on hand when concerned about health
Review: I have bought this book twice. Each time let a friend borrow it and never got it back. Obviously they felt the same way.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Symptoms is the most used book I have. Now about 10 years old, I still use it weekly, sometimes daily. It identifies up to 5 different leg conditions, one of which I have; it describes various type bowel movements, types of cough, types of nearly everything. In his columns, I don't see the same kind of explicit information that I see in the book. I may buy numerous copies of this book to give as gifts. While the treatments may have changed, the symptoms have not.
