Review of the last edition: "Packed with practical, clinically relevant information...Where this book excels in its facility in condensing a tremendous amount of material in a timely fashion and translating it directly to patient care...Still a remarkable bargain...This book will be one of the most referenced members of any personal or institutional medical library." -JAMA
