5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, September 14, 1998
By A Customer
this book is the book you want to have when you're doing your endocrinology rotation. It goes step by step from the basics and it doesn't loose itself into minor not important detales

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Information, July 1, 2006
Likely a little too dense for just general residency, but still a great reference book for the general internist...great information for further endocrine training....well organized with the latest therapy recommendations

5.0 out of 5 stars Great even for an "amateur" studier, March 2, 2004
I first found this book at our local university medical library, then bought a copy for myself. I used it to study the possible causes of infertility. I'm not in the medical profession or a medical student (other than as a hobby) but this book was easy for me to comprehend.
