5.0 out of 5 stars
easy to approach,
By chi chih-yu (Taiwan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Antibiotics (The Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Handbook Series) (Paperback)
This book is so easy to approach that I have ever read. As a medical student or resident, I suggest that you must buy one like this to enhance you for understanding the use of antibiotics and some knowledge in infectious diseases. You can make a quick reference from this book and some helpful information also.

A little too much for me,
By BB Indiana (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Antibiotics (The Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Handbook Series) (Paperback)
I was looking for more of a when the SHTF 'survival type' of book and this has a lot more detail than I understand. So, if I need it I'll have to get smarter about medical terms. I need more of a "Big Dummies Guide"...
