Review "A pocket manual covering the most frequent clinical problems in all fields of medicine, both medical and surgical....More compact and directly practical than the Merck Manual." --Annals of Internal Medicine"Very useful to students and residents as well as practitioners. It has masterfully and interestingly integrated the basic sciences with the art of clinical specialties by way of current references and practical pearls. It is highly recommended as an easy resource book and should be available inlibraries, bookstores, and clinical settings." --Tomas G. Lumicao, Jr., MD, Doody's Journal About the Author J. A. B.
