Summary: A Well-Organized Reference
Review: This book helps me understand, in more depth, medical conditions experienced by me, or my family. Even issues about pregnancy and menopause are covered in useful fashion. It's also a handy reference for times when I've forgotten my doctor's exact instructions. I would not recommend using it to self-diagnose, as there are many conditions that can only be accurately diagnosed by lab tests, or someone skilled in the field. It has, however, helped us determine when to seek a physician's advice, which kept minor illnesses from becoming serious ones.

Summary: Excellent source of the most current therapies!
Review: This book is excellent for medium depth diagnostic information, with great emphasis on current level one treatment recommendations. Contains most current guidelines for treatment and references, without having to pull the journal. Highly recommended for therapeutic recommendations.

Review: This book packs in all the important aspects of client treatment into each section. The headings are a little hard to see when skimming, but the information is excellent. A must have for Nurse Practitioner school!

Summary: Excellent Medicine Book
Review: This is a "must have" text for any student of medicine. It has all the information one needs for ward rounds, presentations, and exams. Medicine is an ever-evolving field and this book keeps up with all the latest developments. The references are conveniently given at the end of each section so the student can easily look up the most relevant articles. I especially like the "Essentials of Diagnosis" that precedes each disease entity and summarizes the key points. However this book is very much clinical/management-oriented. It does not have pictures/slides nor does it cover pathophysiology (for that, Harrison's is a better book).
