A "must " for the internist and student alike
The 14th Edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine provides the student and experienced physician alike with the most up-to-date and comprehensive information for the practice of Internal Medicine. As has been the tradition of Harrison's for decades, the 14th Edition is well-grounded in pathogenic mechanisms; however, it provides easy to read clinical descriptions supplemented by concise diagnostic and treatment algorithms.
