Harrison's Manual of Medicine, 17th Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I understand the intention of Harrison's editors to provide us with a little version of this standard textbook, but honestly, I don't like it. I have owned several editions of this book, but I have never used it, because it is not a practical book. It is short in practical details (like disease management) and long in some other details. If you are looking for a handbook that can help you in clinical practice, forget about this one. There are so many better books out there (Washington, Ferri's,...). This book can be helpful for medical students to review medicine before exams or rotations. However, I have to say that new edition is much better than previous ones. At least it has more algorithms. Also, stay away from PDA version. It is even more stripped down! For your PDA, I highly recommend Ferri's Practical Guide or Washington Manual or 5 Minutes Clinical Consult.

A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!"This condensed version is for anyone who has the remotest association with thepractice of medicine, be they internists, surgeons, nurses, technical staff, orcounselors. This is the authority, and in a time of readily available but notalways accurate information, this is the one source that can be relied upon, inan almost pocket-sized edition....While the main text is one of the absolute pillars of any medical library, thisis the pillar to be carried with you on rounds. It is the final word ininternal medicine and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the editors andcontributors who have created this extraordinary authority in medicine."--Doody's Review Service
