Having been to Mayo Rochester, I was thrilled to get this book. It is MASSIVE. There is so much good info in here it's hard to know where to start. There are detailed illustrations of all of the body's systems, pictures of various skin disorders, instructions on how to deal with all types of illnesses and symptoms, info on healthy eating and diet, and info on various drugs used to treat a myriad of ailments. This book should be in EVERY home.

It's very difficult to look up anything--you have be able to decide correctly in which division your query may fit--the book is divided into five parts--then turn to it and hope it will be included. Try, for example, to research "scoliosis." The next edition should include a complete index.

What an amazing source of information!! It is a definate must have for new parents. This detailed, yet easy to understand book offers specific chapters by age including newborns. It give prevenative information on health & safety including tooth care, controlling stress and travelng abroad. Of course first aid and diseases and disorders are the bulk of the book. It is well written easy to use and include helpful illustrations and photos. Every household should have one, but certainly families with children, of any age should have this book to refer to.

This book gave me a lot of information on illnesses and such. They list the cause(s), symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, and preventions. I think this book should be owned be all families. It's a great reference and is simple to read!

We have had this book for 10 years and cannot imagine it being any better. Clear, direct, worth the price 50 times over. I am now buying the latest edition to stay up-to-date.

The Mayo Clinic family health book is indispensible for reliable descriptions of all common disorders as well as most obscure ones. Of course, it should not be used for self-diagnosis of serious conditions, but it can alert people about the dangers of some seemingly minor symptoms.

I am a mother of two and refer to this book for any concerns. It is easy to reference and understand. I am now buying it as a baby shower gift for a friend.
