The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.12/5 from 16 reviews The only pocket manual of internal medicine to own.Althought the Washington Manual has faced some competition from other handbooks of internal medicine over the past years (see author Ferri), no manual has provided an alternative that comes close to matching the combination of breadth and succinctness found in this text. My advice to students and housestaff is this: Do not be tempted to buy an alternative manual merely because it fits more comfortably into the pocket of your lab coat. During late on-call nights on the medical wards, when the decision is up to you, you will either be glad you chose Washington or sorry you didn't. Thorough, succint, up to date, and time tested, The Washington Manual is the only choice. THE standard for "periperal brains"There is no other book in it's class. I have been a physician for over 30 years and found no other book as useful as this book in the care of seriously ill patients. I have always possessed the most recent version of the manual since I was a medical student and had it at arms length throughout my professional career. It has never failed me. With this book you can be assured that you are practicing the most up to date and effective medicine of the day. It is the only worthwhile "peripheral brain" to have. OverratedThe most overrated book in medicine. Ferri's is much more useful. I bought , rarely used. Not much useful information. Would not recommend to anyone. | ||||||||||||||||||
