REVIEW OF THE LAST EDITION

Ranks among the best medical textbooks in longevity, comprehensiveness, tradition, and use by practitioners and students alike". JAMA


Goldman and Ausiello have given the 22nd edition of this venerable textbook a 21st-century remodeling, which sets a new standard that others are sure to follow.

A doctors bible...It is an incredibly useful resource, it's so detailed you may only feel the benefits of it from 3rd year and even in 3rd year it's pretty comprehensive. Covering pretty much every disease I have heard of so far, it includes an array of less common infectious diseases all accompanied by appropriate clinical images, extensive treatment and pathology sections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cecil, April 10, 2001

By	Wes Burgess (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cecil Textbook of Medicine (Single Volume) (Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 21st ed) (Hardcover)

I first bought this book in Medical School and I still use it almost every week after 14 years. It is thorough and consise-- provides a bit of theory and a lot of practical information in a scholarly style. If youre a reader, get this book-- you may find yourself reading a reference book in your spare time. I would like to go to a physician who used Cecil Medicine as a reference. If youre not a natural reader, forget it and just buy the latest copy of the Washington Manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars More authoritative, readable and practical than Harrison's, May 27, 2006

By	Padunkiaet Vejvechaneyom (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cecil Textbook of Medicine: Single Volume (Hardcover)

You may just be interested in only Harrison's and may ignor Cecil's. But if you pay some attentions and seriously consider Cecil's, I am sure you will find out a lot of superb practical chapters and approaches to patients. Many of the chapters were written by world experts and authorities. Compared with Harrison's, Cecil's may contain more world experts and authorities. Many many chapters, written by the authors from the major well known subspecialty textbooks, were excellent and easy to understand. I highly recommend this textbook to medical students, internal medicine residents and internists.

5.0 out of 5 stars great outline; easily understandable, June 21, 2000

By	B. Olalekan "smithsonian2000" (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cecil Textbook of Medicine (Single Volume) (Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 21st ed) (Hardcover)

This book was first recommended to me by my consultant in internal medicine, so I decided to purchase a copy. So far I have enjoyed the book tremendously. The outlay is great; the depth of coverage is excellent, and it cuts to the meat of internal medicine without giving you distracting [and often confusing] information. Whenever I wanted a general overview of a topic, I turn to this book. For further studies, I use Harrison's. The standard is a bit high for the average medical student though. But if you are an intern, or an IM resident, you'll find the book an invaluable companion.
