5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Guide to Symptoms and Then Some, May 14, 2007
This book is wonderful. I had the 4th edition and used it for years so I was already familar with the format of it. The new one includes a DVD which is even better. This book is easy enough to understand so that even people with minimal medical knowledge can still find the information they need. I like the way it is formatted so that once you do find the illness, you can find the surgery with the approx. care, medications, etc. that you can expect to go with it plus they also cross refrence any difference type of procedures that might be used. With patients having to be so much more informed these days, I take this book with me every time I go to the doctor.My former Dr. didn't like it but my new does and discusses anything thing I have questions about and shows me where to find it in the book. I also have the pill book put out by the same group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illness & Surgery, 5th Editon, January 5, 2007
I think that this sympton book is the best that I have seen. It is very easy to use and gives information that is very valuable in determining if you should see a doctor and treatments that are usually used.

I have several different books and my family and I always use this one first.
