Review
"All the major clinical areas of neurology are covered using a systems approach. From cell neurophysiology to the gross anatomy and physiologic correlates, the book covers the relevant clinical neurology. As an introduction, it serves as a good bridge between the basic science and the world of clinical neurology. Particularly helpful are the clinical vignettes in each chapter that reinforce the clinical relevance of the basic science material presented." "The book is one of the best in its category. It is very useful and is one of the most comprehensive, yet readable books for residents and students." (Doody's )

4.0 out of 5 stars
good for the entry level clinician,
By Thomas J. Hair "Waldo the Wanderer" (Radcliff, KY United States [currently Baghdad, Iraq}) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Neurology (A Lange Medical Book) (Paperback)
This is a fine book for a clinician who is not at the entry level of competence. I recommend it for neurology interns and advanced medical students, mainly because there is not a better one in print. I think it lacks many therapeutic details, is too long for the student looking for a quick read power review, too limited for the advanced clinician.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great for beginning neurons,
By neuro resident (Northwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clinical Neurology (A Lange Medical Book) (Paperback)
This book is excellent for a general overview of neurology. It's especially useful during first year call nights as well as neurology rotations. Though it does not delve deeply into most illnesses, it offers a substanial differential diagnosis to build upon despite lack of treatment recommendations. Very easy to read as well and convenient to carry.
