This is a must-have for anyone in medical school. Up-to-date info, full of pictures, and great charts and tables.

I think this is a good buy but it needs better navigation to find certain topics within the book since this is mostly a reference on the fly while on the wards seeing patients. Otherwise I think one can manage and search patiently for the topic of interest. My suggestion is to have an area to type in topic of interest, similar to when online and different chapters pop up in which the topic is discussed.

Excellent manual for doctors with some experience who know exactly where to search and what.I use it to compare US Medicine to the European Medicine and on a rate of the renewal of the medical information at every 5 years,Harrison`s Handbook Manual is very usefull in daily practice.

Since the full-size Harrison's is rather...full-sized, this book is a good reference to take with you for studying at the hospital. It has good differentials of common patient presentations and covers the basics of common diagnoses and treatment.
