Current Medical Diagnosis Treatment

It is VERY nice book. Especially for medical students and residents.You can understand from detail to basic of diseases. With this book, you know how to approach and make your list of differential diagnosis. I worked for infectious disease patients for a while, and this book was very useful because you can get the general knowledge not only about infectious diseases but also general internal medicine, skin lesions, bone diseases, and so on. I especially recommend the chart of antibiotics(Chart 37). I like this book because we can also get the update etiology of diseases. So nice.

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).

I bought this book based on the recommendations of the other reviewers and I have been endlessly impressed. It is excellent value for money. The research and references are up to date and all the information is set out in the most logical manner. I bought it as a second year Naturopathic student and have used it almost daily when dealing with all my subjects. Any students out there hesitating, don't... BUY THIS BOOK.

Current Medicine is right up there among the top few reference books. It has excellent chapters in Cardiology, Infectious diseases and Respiratory medicine. One of the key features is the references of the latest articles at the end of every topic that is covered. This is book is worth every cent that is spent to buy it, a truly productive investment of time and money....a must buy for students who want to ace their exams.

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.
