Rating: - Highly Recommend
I used previous versions of this guide to study in nursing school as the college disease manuals were too detailed. As a nurse, I use this manual not only for my own information and treatment of patients, but for patient teaching. Written in an easy to read, concise format, with symptoms, diagnostic information, and treatment protocols, I highly recommend this for the professional and the individual interested in having disease information readily available at home.
Rating: - excellent resource for the health sciences
I used the book as much as I did my drug and nursing procedure book during nursing school. I wished I had it when I was in respiratory therapy school years ago because it's a fantastic book. It's concise, accurate and organized very well. It also further organizes each heading by causes, signs/symptoms, how diagnosed and treatment, etc.

What impresses me the most is its coverage of the more rare diseases, something often neglected in other texts. ... Read More

Although it is written for the medical professional, I find it very readable for a layman like myself. When I became very ill with viral encephalitis, this book helped me understand what was happening to me, how to take care of myself, and to show my family what I was going through so they wouldn't worry. ... Again, I would ... Read More
