    A very useful book. Not the usual dry, wordy presentation of clinical material that I expected to see. It gets to the point quickly and includes what you really need to know. It needs to be updated in a few areas, but worth getting anyway.

    I'm a physician. A colleague and I disagreed about whether doxycycline could be used to treat MRSA soft tissue infection. I quickly found the answer in this book, in a concise, bullet point format.
