A family library "must have"!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illness, and Surgery (3rd ed) (Paperback)
I purchased my first copy of this book back in the mid 80's. I'm now working on replacing my 2nd copy because it no longer has the cover and is VERY well used between myself and my children. It's saved many an unnecessary trip to the doctor and also ensured good communication for the times we did need to see the doctor.

People think I'm a genius because of this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illness, and Surgery (3rd ed) (Paperback)
I once had a housekeeper who was sick for several months. Finally I made her sit down and tell me her symptoms. I consulted this book and couldn't tell from her symptoms what she had -- but I knew it was either gallstones, a bleeding ulcer, or pancreatitis. I made her leave my house and go to the doctor. A week later, she called me from the hospital. Her gallbladder had been removed, her bleeding ulcer had been repaired, and she was under treatment for pancreatitis. Every time I use this book, the results blow me away. I've had to stop telling doctors what rare disease I have because the opthamologist was so irate when I diagnosed my iritis before he did.

An excellent source of immediate information for everyone,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illness, and Surgery (3rd ed) (Paperback)
This book is a must for anyone that is at all curious about health-related problems. I drag this book out at least once a week to look up information for myself as well as others that are asking me about symptoms or illnesses. I have bought copies as gifts for other people, as well.
