4.0 out of 5 stars the right focus, January 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cecil Essentials of Medicine (Paperback)

I am a 4th year medical student and have referred to this book contantly on my rotations. i find that the chapters were lucid and covered just the right amount of depth for each topic. Best of all, the authors focused on all the clinically relevant points of each disease which is a must for the busy clinician. Get it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why did I buy Harrison's?, March 22, 2004

By 

Seejay "cjcjcjcj" (Earth, superficially) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cecil Essentials of Medicine (Paperback)

I get a hernia when I pick up Harrison's. I've used it twice this year. I'm a graduating senior, and I've collected all of my upperclassmen's suggestions of books. Cecil's has a bit more info than I'd like, but it's a readable length if you're not a procrastinator like me!
It's extremely well written, and easily understood. It stresses only those topics that we graduating seniors absolutely have to have a clue about by graduation, and it doesn't waste too much paper. It's not a pocketbook, but at about half the physical
size of Harrison's, it's not easy to carry around, either.
If I had to buy only one book out of Harrison's, Cecil's, NMS, and Blueprints, I'd get Cecil's. It's well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars DESIGNED FOR BOTH DOCTORS AND STUDENTS, February 19, 2003

By 

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cecil Essentials of Medicine, 5e (Cecil Medicine) (Paperback)

Accessible and highly useful, the format of "Cecil Essentials of Medicine" is unique. This is one of the few broad-scope medical texts, which used simple language to present advanced information. The book is dynamic; and very easy to understand. Its strengths lie in the methodological manner with which it tackled clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapeutics. It gives detailed information in each case, without dabbling into anything that is unnecessary.
Anybody who reads this book will appreciate the depth of its coverage. It is a quality designed: a valuable compilation with both doctors and students in mind.
