Customer Reviews

Great Reference for the NP student!

I love the way this book is broken down in each section including patho, presentation, diagnosis, principles of therapy, patient eduation, and therapeutic recommendations. There is even a section for referral indications. I bought this book to supplement my primary care text book, and to use as a reference for discussion boards and papers.

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.

This book rules when it comes to practical advice

I like to read Harrison's now and then, but it is so genetics and research heavy that I get bored. This book is excellent because it comes from a practical perspective (i.e. for the busy clinician vs. the academic) and it breaks down problems by symptoms. A sample chapter is "The patient with dizziness". When I see patients with relatively common things that I want to refresh on, I pull out this book. Sometimes it doesn't have the detail I want, but that's what I have Harrison's for and the web. It is DEFINITELY worth the 90 bucks or so it costs to have in the library.

An exelent book .I'm waiting for the next edition

It is a pleasure to find a medical book that took into consideration the practical aspects of a primary physician in his clinic. I'd like to suggest to incorporate into the next edition more visual items (cXR, CT, MRI dermatological, etc.) as it says that one picture worth a thousand words

this is a very useful book for primary care

I'am a specialist on general internal medicine, and i work in a universitary hospital, i have responsability in education of residents in family care medicine. I think, that this boox can help in this formation because is very clear in explanations and criterials of clinicasl problems and aid to take decisssions. My suggest is in future edition, you should include some chapters about geriatric medicine.
