3.0 out of 5 stars More expensive than its worth, June 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Neurology in Clinical Practice: Volume I: Principles of Diagnosis and Management, Volume II: The Neurological Disorders (2-Volume Set, Includes a 12-Month Subscription to the Online Edition) (Paperback)

The book has some good chapters but overall, it cannot serve as a reference text. Bakers Neurology on CD ROM is almost half the price and packs much more information with excellent references.

2.0 out of 5 stars Understocked, overpriced, October 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Neurology in Clinical Practice: Volume I: Principles of Diagnosis and Management, Volume II: The Neurological Disorders (2-Volume Set, Includes a 12-Month Subscription to the Online Edition) (Paperback)

I've used the book as a reference in neurology a number of times. On each occasion the contents provided a very nice general summary of the more basic information on the topic. Also in each case, critical and well established aspects of the clinical condition --- essential to decisionmaking --- were omitted from the text without even the slightest implied reference. Some of the missing information was "new" (last 4-5 years), much of it was not. A well written general survey of neurology for the medical student, the level of omission of significant or critical information suggests that even the family practitioner should exercise great caution in using it as a decision-making guide. Books that appear less complete, in the end, provide at least equal information and utility. Rated as high as 2* because the text is well written and the minimum of basic information is provided, though not at a level appropriate to a skilled neurologist.

3.0 out of 5 stars A letdown...., September 30, 2002

Any large 2 volume reference text certainly looks impressive. But, unfortunately, NICP is only superficially attractive. I have used this as a reference many times and have closed the book without gaining any satisfactory answers. Considering it's size and price, NICP is a huge letdown. The online subscription service is costly, but at least it gets continuously updated and has videos to boot.
