Reviews

`Review from previous edition It is not only an excellent reference for medical trainees or internal medicine physicians, it also includes insightful commentaries on various humanistic issues related to the practice of medicine.........the 800-plus page Infection section is one of the highlights. Each section is clearly laid out, with an Essentials box at the beginning of each topic.
