Editorial Reviews
“This is a comprehensive volume of internal medicine and associated areas which can serve most excellently not only the medical student and the clinical resident but it should be on the bookshelf of all practicing physicians including those whose field is different from internal medicine.” – Julian L. Ambrus, MD, PhD, FACP, Journal of Medicine
“First published in 1927 and now in its 24th edition, this book continues its legacy as a comprehensive pillar of modern medicine. The editors have brought together the best of world-renowned experts in their areas to organize an overview of the accepted facts of physiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Each of the classic textbooks of medicine is written with a particular philosophy, and this one is known for its practical, quick, comprehensive nature. This edition continues to meet that extraordinary goal. The editors and authors have drawn on their extensive experience to produce a truly noteworthy book. It is organized in the usual organ-system manner, but what really sets the tone are the exquisite figures, tables, and illustrations that help readers better understand and remember important points. The online full-text version is extremely easy to use with videos for diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms and endoscopies, physical examinations such as evaluating gait and other neurological signs, self-assessment questions, and case studies. Also included are QR Codes that, when used with a smartphone, will directly open the videos from the website. These videos are of extraordinarily high quality. This is part of the foundation of modern medicine. It remains a must-have for every medical library. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 – 5 Stars!” – Doody’s Book Review
“Without doubt it has retained its authoritative role and remains a sweeping and detailed of general medicine and I mean detailed…this is a vast modern textbook of medicine which combines the rich tradition of the old with the energy of the new. The price may just be slightly over 100 pounds but for what you get, it is very good value.” – Univadis, February 2012
Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Cecil’s does it again…. Concise and logically written sections offers the best of both worlds. Allows fast resourcing for our busy clinical lifestyles, as well as detailed description of diseases, diagnosis and therapies for learning.
This text is highly recommended for the novice in med school. It will broaden your scope as well as fill in the “gaps” sometimes appreciated with lectures. The authors always remain aware of your perspective -a clinician trying to understand disease and treatment to better your patient. It is easier to read more so than other texts with use of graph, algorithms, and pictures to enhance your learning experience. And for the tech savvy… The PDFs and videos available online will work well with your mobile devices.
Interns, residents, staff… Great to use for reasons stated above. Better than previous additions with updated sections and web applications.
Cons as seen so far… Color tabs on side marking sections were removed as present in last edition. Makes looking up sections not as easy, a small issue. Would like to see more integration for mobile devices i.e. full PDF availability for tablets, app…)
In all… A highly valued resource for today’s ever changing medical practice.
