Great book for really learning Medicine! March 29, 2008
This is book is awesome! It gives you pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of the different disease states, but in an understandable way. The book is so well written that you will retain most if not all of the material upon reading the whole book. You develop a platform of knowledge that will allow you to add details to the different diseases are your training progress. Unlike Harrison's which is a reference book you will find yourself going back to this book for refreshers on many topics and concepts of medicine. Great book, great purchase! Would highly recommend it to everyone who really wants to learn medicine and have a firm knowledge base.
Good Book May 9, 2007

This is a great book for medical students, residents, and even attending physicians, who wish to have succinct description of key medical syndromes and their therapies. It is perfect for getting an overview; this might be all you need in a particular instance, or else the discussion in this text will provide a great framework for further, more detailed, study from one of the standard large textbooks of medicine or a journal article. I have found that my understanding of an advanced treatment of a topic is greatly improved by having a simplified overview first, and this book is unbeatable at that.If you take a weekend and read it cover-to-cover, you will find that on Monday morning, your knowledge and confidence in internal medicine is greatly improved.
