5.0 out of 5 stars The most practical book I use in my medical practice, June 16, 1998

Mark Graber and staff have done it again. The 3rd edition of the Family Practice handbook is the most complete day to day reference I use. A practical and common sense approach to medicine that includes almost all family medicine topics that can be encountered each day. I even bring this book home each day for review and to assist me on my call nights. I feel this book is especially designed for the busy practioner who needs quick access of the latest medical info. I feel it is reliable and authoritative and I encourage anyone who practices family medicine and is looking for reliable information to assist them in their daily practice to try this book.

Excellent pocket reference. I'm a 3rd year FP resident and have found it helpful in the office and in the hospital. Just wish there was a new version -last one was in 1997.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take one family practice book, this should be it. (But wouldn't you take a good novel instead?) It covers the waterfront with details of diagnosis and treatment of all of the common and most of the uncommon disorders without the clutter of the rare. Good for students and residents in my estimation.
