Review:

"Brief summaries of common diseases and their diagnoses and treatments are presented. Notable is the simplicity of the layout with the bulleted sentences. The pearls at the end of each subject are particularly helpful." "This is a very well written and concise summary of detailed common diseases. The bulleted format makes for quick and easy reading. This is a long-awaited second edition."

Book Description:

Designed as a quick reference on the wards or in the clinic, ESSENTIALS OF DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT provides telegraphic information on the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of more than 500 common or important diseases seen by internists and family physicians.

Two new chapters -- "Geriatrics" and "Genetics" -- have been added, as well. Other features: “Nutshell” information on diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and management of more than 500 diseases � One-disease-per-page format and bulleted lists for “at a glance” use� Covers ambulatory and inpatient medicine� Covers all of internal medicine, plus key specialties� Tabbed for quick access Can be used alone, or as a portable companion to CMDT
