Every 3 years, I try to make a point to read through an entire text. It is easy reading, and very accurate. My only beef is the grammar. It could have been proofread and corrected. Some of the authors have horrible grammar. One particular article, I believe it was on Salmonella, was a scathing assessment of the overuse of antibiotics. I think that little things like this should have been proofread. Overall, though, 5 stars. I haven't used my online access yet, so I don't know about that. But, I would recommend it for someone wanting to stay up to date with a regimen of reading. It is not as long as Harrison's, and it won't put you to sleep. The organ systems are well organized. I like it better than the other "current" series out there.

I am prejudiced about this book because my father was Dr.Howard F. Conn. He and my mother traveled around the country in 1947 and spoke with Dr's to see if they had an interest in a general book with contributing authors who are physicians with a specialty. He was well received and had many manuscripts from physicians for the first book in 1949,but had to write many of them himself, until the book became so popular that he was busy full time with editing.

Extraordinarty up-to-date book. A medical tradition that has become a must for MDs and medical students. As a physician I recommend it.

EXCELLENT MEDICAL BOOK. COVERS EVERY MEDICAL CONDITION AND THERAPY THAT ONE COULD WANT TO INVESTIGATE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR BOTH THE PROFESSIONAL AND LAYMAN.

my husband, an internist-cardiologist, bought it. he is very happy with it is an essential book for docs like him
