Rating:  - Relevance of primary care textbook to my practice.
This textbook is very informative and helpful in my current practice as a family physician and geriatrician. The topics are up-to-date and very relevant.
Rating:  - Boston baked beans
When I was a medical student, the attendings (recently elevated residents) really liked this book. I bought it and tried to like it. It was one of the very few texts I ended up giving away. Many years later I decided to give it another try given all the stars it garners. Again, I don't see the attraction. It reminds me of my Father's texts---heavy, densely packed with small print unrelieved by color or illustrations. 1400+ pages and there are literally a handful of illustrations 2 of which ...

Rating:  - Primary Care Text
This is a book that my family practice residency uses for diadactic readings. I have found it to be well written and organized for primary care adult medicine.

Rating: - This book rules when it comes to practical advice
I like to read Harrison's now and then, but it is so genetics and research heavy that I get bored.

Rating: - The Best!
Over 200 of the most commonly encountered chief complaints in family medicine! This is the book! It's contributors are outstanding educators and clinicians from the school of medicine Harvard. Practical, no-nonsense straight to point case management -- it is like having a team of brilliant family physicians to consultant on every aspect of your daily practice. I am a PA and I think this should be on every practitioner's book shelf in family medicine.
