Rating: - Rod and Lyn's Merck Review
We rate the contents, style and information depth of the Merck Manual at 100% +. We rely on this manual and its extraordinary depth and clarity of content very much. Three of the family have nursing backgrounds Merck is a MUST !
Rating: - The Merck Manualeighteenth Edition
This is the third edition I use. I am a psychiatrist but like to keep up with what happens in other fields of medicine. I use it to look up illnesses and symptoms my patients and friends com up with. I use it to get ideas about diagnoses. I believe this is a book to recommend to new doctors. Of course the articles about each somatic state are very short so they need to be followed up elsewhere. But this book is a real good starter. I recommend i warmly.
Rating: - Best Book in the entire medical field
This is probably a redundant review since all the reviews are 5* reviews, but I'll give you my perspective. This is the third copy of this book I own, the other two being previous editions. If I could own only one medical book, this would be it. While it has grown ~ 500 pages since the last edition I own, it's all good. Every topic is covered both succinctly and authoritatively and kept up to date. The section on AIDS for instance was excellent, nonexistant from my previous edition. Same with Autism ... Read More
Rating: - very good and comprehensive reference book
I am studying for NP and found this book is comprehensive, with all info you need, symptoms and signs, diagnosis, treatment...under each disease or disorder, well organized and easy to find information you need. And the price at amazon.com is lowest I ever found.
Rating: - Huge Help!
This book has been wonderful!I am thrilled to be able to use it on my journey through nursing school.This book is a pathophysiology life saver as well.The care plans listed here and the information that is in this little book make life much easier!If you are in the medical field, you should own this book.If you are someone that is interested in just learning more, you might want to try the family edition that isn't quite as technical.
