  - Saunders Manual of Family PracticeI have read selected sections of this book in its 1st and 2nd editions and it is a good reference and study source in outline form, procedures are well described and clear. I also recommend Stobo's Review of Internal Medicine (authors are from Johns Hopkins) or Lange's Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment to go with the Saunders text or Cecil's Essentials of Medicine, texts in traditional manuscript. Rating: - From a Hospital Based Coder's Point of ViewI often have to look up a disease process to assign the most accurate and appropriate ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes. This book has become favored over the Merck Manual because it is easier for me to understand in a concise format. I still have and use my Merck Manual, it's a classic. I go to this book first, then the Merck Manual. I have recommended this book in workshops that I give to other "coders" because of its ease of use to others than physicians. Rating:  - Best medical text I have ever purchased! No competition.This book is much more than a quick reference. If you are a Primary Care Physician, PA or NP buy this book, you will look like a genius to your peers. I review this text everytime I consider referring a patient to a specialist, when I do have to refer I have already done most of the ground work and only need the specialist to perform a diagnostic procedure like a colonoscopy with biopsy. I can't tell you how impressed my co-workers are with my level of knowledge. I keep telling them where I learned the information but most of them just think I'm super intelligent and aske me to consult on their cases. Rating: - every primary care physician should have this bookThis is an excellent quick reference for primary care which would be beneficial to residents and attending physicians alike. It gives quick summaries of most illnesses. Rating: - Great TextMy best friend rates this text as extremely useful for family practice. |
