5 out of 5 stars The 'must have' medical book   January 7, 2009
This is a "must have" medical book for medical/health practitioners, and those who want to know physicians' rational for making medical decisions. It was my Holiday gift to myself.


2 out of 5 stars Sadly outdated on some conditions   December 15, 2008
I was disappointed to see that the section on Male Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (aka chronic prostatitis) was simply out of date and incorrect, saying that the cause was infectious. We have over a decade of research pointing away from this conclusion, but seemingly Harrison's has been asleep during all these advances.

It's really amaizing. The quality as a book wich is increase ( in page quality , in colour illustration etc.)
The thing I appreciate most is the fact in wich you have the entire cycle of the medicine into and describe in a master form that I've finded only in "Harrison". The other things you make not is that the book consider you an idiot and in his end makes you a genius...a miracle isn't it.That's what we needs "miracles"...



5 out of 5 stars This is the ONE BIG book version! Other hardcover edition has whole text in 2 volumes!   October 30, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Giving a poor review beacuse you bought the complete text in ONE large hardcover version versus the other Hardcover Two Volume version is misleading.

This is a GREAT book for home reading, and yes you can look up current articles and have a huge pile of medical information that may be the most current but this book puts it all together for you.

If you liked reading Robbins Pathology as an M2, just buy this book for your M3...and choose 1)one big volume version or 2)the split 2 volume version...both are COMPLETE texts that add up to the same number pages. :)
