The book was reprinted: I got mine through Mosby/Harcourt (publishers). Its an excellent intro book for pharm students in first or second professional year. Written at the appropriate level for students, I especially like the chapters on DI, labs, physical assessment and presenting patients. I looked around before I found a book I would recommend and even the students admit it seems worth $30 (truly a criteria that's is important). I intend to use it to supplement the traditional DiPiro or Koda Kimble books, since they lack the "principles" of solving problem sections.

Overall, I think its worth having.

I teach a pharmacy course called "Clinical Assessment" and have used Tietze's book for three years. It is a concise and easy to read intro to clinical assessment tools, such as physical exam, charting and presenting, lab interpretation, and problem solving. I like that it does not try to be comprehensive, allowing me to taylor the course in the way that I want and not be constrained by the outline of the text.

This was was exactly what I was looking for. The price was a lot better than what my book store was selling it for. Overall I think it was a good transaction.
