4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This book provides an important contribution to the field of internal medicine and rheumatology....I think that this book is a very worthy contribution to the field of rheumatology. The authors did a very nice job of discussing the various differentials to be considered in the diagnoses of rheumatic disorders. This provides a helpful reference for clinicians in general internal medicine, as well as trainees rotating through rheumatology."--Doody's Review Service

Review

"This book provides an important contribution to the field of internal medicine and rheumatology. Primarily written for trainees in rheumatology, as well as practitioners seeking an updated introduction on rheumatology, this book provides authoritative information on relevant immunological principles and the diagnoses of rheumatic diseases...I think that this book is a very worthy contribution to the field of rheumatology. The authors did a very nice job of discussing the various differentials to be considered in the diagnoses of rheumatic disorders. This provides a helpful reference for clinicians in general internal medicine, as well as trainees rotating through rheumatology. 4 Stars!"--Doody's Review Service Doody's 20060626

1.0 out of 5 stars Egregiously Inaccurate, November 29, 2009
This review is from: Harrison's Rheumatology (Paperback)
Fauci is a very poor scientist. He lets his own political beliefs bias his medical opinions. As he has been in high positions in NIH this serves to greatly retard medical science and cause much suffering to disabled Americans. An example is his steadfast support of Stephen Straus in his disinformation campaign on ME (aka CFS). Fauci still includes the deceased Straus' inaccurate article as the section on ME in this edition.

Internist Paul Cheney, MD, PhD, the world's foremost clinican and top researcher on ME said of Straus' findings in his most (self-)publicized study, "it's an absolute lie." Internist Dan Peterson, also one of the world's foremost clinicians and researchers on ME said "Stephen Straus is a snake." Straus was still doing grand rounds in the mid- late 90's saying possible retroviral association with ME made no sense because retroviruses cause neurological, cognitive, immunological and endocrine pathology, which aren't prominent features of ME. These are in fact the central, disabling features of the disease. And of course quite a few bench scientists have found retroviral involvement since 1986, most recently Judy Mikovits and Frank Ruscetti at NCI.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource, Even if you already have the big Harrison's, July 17, 2009
By 
This review is from: Harrison's Rheumatology (Paperback)
The big Harrison's is just too unwieldy when you only need to look at a specific subject. Get this from an Amazon Marketplace merchant for $10 or $15 instead of buying it new. It's well worth it if you are a medical professional.
