A book with authoritative, in-depth medical information:
The Merck Manual of Medical Information – Home Edition is a "translation" of the 99-year-old Merck Manual for physicians, the most widely used medical reference book in the world. As the Editor-in-Chief, I became convinced that people have a need for authoritative, in-depth medical information because many copies of the professional edition were being purchased by people who are not physicians. The Merck Manual of Medical Information – Home Edition was written by over 200 medical experts from leading universities worldwide and covers more subjects than any other medical reference text. It contains virtually all the information our professional edition does, but we eliminated the jargon; the book is written in plain English. It covers almost every known disease and has detailed sections on women’s health (including pregnancy, normal and complicated); children’s health and development; drugs; psychiatry; ear, nose and throat disorders; skin disorders; dental problems; sports injuries; legal issues; accidents and injuries; care of dying patients; and more. Like the professional edition, The Merck Manual of Medical Information – Home Edition is published on a not-for-profit basis as a public service by Merck & Co., Inc.; a pioneer in medical research and education.
