The sellar was honest and sent me an email stating that Amazon was not going to release my funds to them (which have been cashed since late November)due to them being a new customer with amazon. I understand the precautions amazon must have to take, but why does it have to affect my receiving my pocket medicine book. Would like to write a review of service and book, but do not have my product as of 12-22-08.

This book is a great reference for any medical student or pharmacy student. I purchased this book for clerkship, as the medical students were always looking at it. Every common disease state is in there, as well as diagnostic criteria such as the Duke or Wells criteria. It also has a place where medical abbreviations are located which are handy when reading notes. It has a nice medication section for the ICUs, antibiotic, and other medications. I love this book!

Totally worth getting. I bought a used one, in good condition and I love how it breaks doen the needed information clinically. I was pleased with the content and the condition of the book. I would recommend it for students even after having the PDA program's out there. I use if often.

Very good book to keep close at hand. Valuable information when you need it. Not to detailed but this is what I like. Hits the stuff you need to know in a hurry. You can always go back for more details in our texts.

This new edition has a very helpful color side index on right side of pages making it easier to find things more quickly. You'll need this book for your white coat. Good carry around pocket Medicine rotation review book.

  Summary: Good for supplementing Medicine questions from MKSAP4!
  Rating: 4
  

  Im a med student using this book for review for my Medicine shelf exam and I dont like some of the format of the "All of the above..." type answers and questions with "A AND B" as answers. But that said the book goes well with Harrison's textbook.

  
  
  Summary: Just Great
  Rating: 5
  

  It is one of the best self-assessment books... simple to use, easy to understand and very helpful to review the most updated concepts.. I would recommended it to any med student or resident...

  Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine: Self-assessment and Board Review, 16th ed. 
  
  This book has review choose-the-best-answer questions. Chapters include Introduction to clinical medicine, Genetics, Oncology and Hematology, Infectious Diseases, Disorders of cardiovascular system, Disorders of the respiratory system, Critical care medicine, Disorders of the kidney and urinary tract, Disorders of the GI system, Rheumatology and immunology, Endocrinology and metabolism, and Neurologic disorders. The book was published in 2005, and has about 360 pages. 
  
  Pros: 
  1. Will review many topics related to different disciplines of internal medicine. You will be asked questions related to common and very rare diseases. 
  2. Great explanations to the questions. 
  3. Well-referenced answers with relevant chapter(s) in Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine to enable you to read further. 
  4. 19 Questions have colored pictures which are presented at the end of the book. 
  
  Cons: 
  1. No normal common lab ranges provided. 
  2. The units of some lab values are American e.g. mg/dL. 
  3. Some questions have spelling or editing mistakes e.g. in Infectious Disease section, the stem of question number 12 is duplicated. 
  4. Some questions are not well-written. For example, some questions have options such as (A and B). 
  5. Many questions are not case-based. 
  6. Some questions have stems which begin with "All but which of the following ...", or, "All the following is .... except", or, "Which of the following is not correct?". The only advantage of these types of questions is that they measure factual information directly. 
  7. Some imaging pictures are not good quality, such as question X-35 on Rheumatology, page 278. There are many black-and-white pictures.

Introducing the most dramatically revised edition of Harrison's ever!

Now with NEW bonus DVD with 37 chapters and more than 500 brand new images and video clips!

MORE THAN TRUSTED, BEYOND ESSENTIAL . . .

The #1 selling medical textbook worldwide, Harrison's has defined internal medicine for millions of clinicians and students. The new 17th Edition retains Harrison'sacclaimed balance of pathobiology, cardinal signs and manifestations of disease, and best approaches to patient management, yet has been massively updated to give you an innovative array of bold new features and content. If ever there was one must-have resource for clinicians and students -- this is it!. .

UNMATCHED EXPERTISE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

As an unprecedented amount of medical information bombards you and your patients, where do you go to sort it out and make sense of it all? When your patients request clarification on something they've �printed off,� where do you turn for expert explanations? The same trusted resource physicians and students have turned to for more than fifty years: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. Now more than ever, trust Harrison's to filter and clarify the exploding knowledge base, to highlight the breakthroughs, and to deliver a clear, balanced distillation of the best and most current information on which to base clinical decisions.

THE MOST EXCITING AND EXTENSIVELY REVISED EDITION EVER!

Here are just a few of the reasons why the new 17th Edition of Harrison's is the best edition yet:

• Bonus companion DVD featuring:. 37 new �e-chapters�; over 500 brand-new radiological, laboratory, and clinical images, including complete atlases; state-of-the-art video clips; an Image Bank of nearly all the illustrations contained in the parent text, and much more.
• Expanded, modernized illustration program with more than 800 brand-new, additional illustrations--a 60% increase over the previous edition.
• Dozens of brand new chapters on vital topics in medical education and clinical practice: Global Issues in Medicine: Patient Safety and Health Quality; Health Disparities: Atlas of EKGs; Clinical Management of Obesity; Atlas of Hematology; Atlases of Chest, Neurological, and Cardiovascular Radiology; and much more! Also included is a complete new section on biological foundations and emerging clinical applications of regenerative medicine!. .
• Brand new, reader-friendly text design optimizes the full-color format .
• An expanded, innovative focus on global health.
• NEW Global Advisory Board comprising 11 prominent medical experts from Asia, India, Europe, and South America .
• Revision of the popular On Line Learning Center, which offers more skill-sharpening self-assessment questions and answers, plus additional case studies for helping you apply Harrison's content to the daily care of patients .
• Harrison's related products are available in a full suite of formats to meet all your educational and clinical needs. Harrison's Practice of Medicine is a complete database of more than 700 clinical topics formatted for use at the point of care. . The Harrison's Manual of Medicine is one of the most popular and heavily used handbook-sized resources in internal medicine. The Harrison's Self-Assessment and Board Review features more than 1000 board-type cases and questions and highlights the use of Harrison's as a great board prep resouce.

I was disappointed to see that the section on Male Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (aka chronic prostatitis) was simply out of date and incorrect, saying that the cause was infectious. We have over a decade of research pointing away from this conclusion, but seemingly Harrison's has been asleep during all these advances.

It's really amaizing. The quality as a book wich is increase ( in page quality , in colour illustration etc.) 
The thing I appreciate most is the fact in wich you have the entire cycle of the medicine into and describe in a master form that I've finded only in "Harrison". The other things you make not is that the book consider you an idiot and in his end makes you a genius...a miracle isn't it.That's what we needs "miracles"...

Giving a poor review beacuse you bought the complete text in ONE large hardcover version versus the other Hardcover Two Volume version is misleading. 

This is a GREAT book for home reading, and yes you can look up current articles and have a huge pile of medical information that may be the most current but this book puts it all together for you. 

If you liked reading Robbins Pathology as an M2, just buy this book for your M3...and choose 1)one big volume version or 2)the split 2 volume version...both are COMPLETE texts that add up to the same number pages. :)

Harrison is still the bible for internal medicine.

arrived on time and in good condition, however since i was not around to receive the package, i had to go to the local post office to claim it
