I was always taught that Harrison's is king for Internal Medicine, and it may be. I own Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 17th Edition and CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2011 (LANGE CURRENT Series) but I use Davidson's. Maybe for someone who is on track to become an Internal Medicine Attending / Consultant this may be a bit lighter reading, but for everyone else I recommend Davidson's

Great with my Samsaung Galaxy Note 3 that I bought from Amazone as advertised that fulfilled my daily requirement. I rated 5 Stars. Thanks. I am planning to buy a few more items in very near future too. Hope Amazone will keep up Good Work as before with Customers.

Although it is required for med school, just off a glance it seems to be very thorough and can help in the future. It will take a while to read.

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013

This is THE best internal medicine book so far for any doctor at any stage.

This book is extraordinarily neat and brilliantly designed(so you can see, they can put a huge amount of information inside such a modest size book):-

The first few chapter is about ethics and communication skills and some basic science which I find must know for any doctor who is in clinical practice and has been away from basic science for awhile.

Every system based chapter starts with a short relevant clinical examination box which is not complete but handy,basically tells you 'where/what you must look when examining a patient' and relevant anatomy and physiological overview of the chapters. Then comes about presenting problems and how to handle them and then discussion of diseases. It is very easy(possibly easiest) to read and understand, there is a lot of tables, flow charts and very high quality(both aesthetically and intellectually) images. Once you read a topic, no matter how difficult it is, you will always find the clearest and easiest explanation which is sufficiently exhaustive(both for saving your patient at hospital/practice and passing any internal medicine exam effortlessly--- 'practice question'). Inclusion of 'in pregnancy' and 'old age' boxes are very helpful especially for various exam and quick review purposes. 'Practice points' are not very exhaustive but a nice feature for quick review before wards anyway(though there is better book on practical procedures).

However, I would recommend(especially you are a undergraduate student and not in UK):
1. Get a different psychiatry text book. Psyc part is not sufficient here.
2. For infectious disease, get a local book for epidemiology and antibiotic treatment.
3. Review neuroanatomy from an anatomy book, you will have a better understanding of neurological disease then.
4. Water, acid base and electrolyte disorder: I would like it more if there was more about SIADH and DI etc. Anyway, study this chapter wisely(i.e. when studying for exam, read it from a proper review book and if for treating patient go with some bigger book).
5. Critical care: Very good overview/introduction, may be sufficient for exams but you will need a separate textbook if you are working at ICCU or going to work there in future.

Overall: Medicine is a vast subject, no single book is sufficient when it comes about treating patient. So if you are an internist, use this book as the base, then add up from other books as you require. If you are not an internist, but want to have a sound knowledge of internal medicine(all physician needs) read this book without hesitation, you will never need another medicine book. As a single book, this is the most balanced and complete book. Highly recommended.

Very comprehensive and concise with excellent images. Makes for a good supplemental resource.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2012

This is a great book, but I'm still having trouble adjusting to some of the international units used within. It is well written and easy to read. As a 3rd year medical student, I was also happy to find out that it was neither oversimplified nor over my head.

Davidson's Medicine ist eins der verlässlichsten Werke, die es im Bereich der Medizin gibt. Gut verständlich, mit ausgezeichneten Illustrationen und Tabellen, gibt es nicht nur Studenten sondern auch erfahrenen Ärzten fundierte und detaillierte Informationen über nahezu sämtliche Bereiche der Medizin. Auch Hintergründe und Diskussionen neuerer Erkenntnisse fließen in die Beschreibung der Erkrankungen ein, so dass man die große Kompetenz der Verfasser sofort erkennen kann. Es basiert auf der britischen Medizin, ist aber dennoch international orientiert. Mit 1360 Seiten und Online-Zugang mit Testfragen und weiterführenden Informationen bietet das Werk ein ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Superb

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2010

I have always been a fan of Davidson's and disappointed that for some reason or other that KC has always cornered the student market. Back in the 1980s when KC came out it was better illustrated and had a more up to date feel than Davidsons but there has been a great deal of catch up. I as initially a fan of K&C and have owned every edition of both since 1987 but the most recent KC editions have become bloated. Davidson's has become my favourite medium sized medical text and I wish more people would give it a chance. It is beautifully presented and tightly written with more of a narrative style than the lists of bullet points seen in KC. A lot of information is contained in tables and the diagrams which mustn't be ignored. It contains a wealth of clinical information. At the end of the day it is a question of personal choice and preferred style - both books will get you through general medical undergraduate and postgraduate exams.

Regardless of what specialty in medicine you are going to pursue. This book sets the foundation for core medical knowledge that every physician needs to have. Great help for MRCP(UK) preparation. I used it along side MCQs and the text is just set at the right level with the relevant information. No nonsense or clutter. All you need to know is there in one book. It's going to be in my library for years to come.
