This is the book Doctors use to treat Patients. It lists Illnesses, Symptoms, Treatments, Dosages and Precautions. It is updated about each 7 yrs., so this 1999 book, (17th.ed.),is only One Edition behind the new current 2006 (18th)edition. Contrary to Public belief, (indoctrination) Medical Practice does not Change Rapidly or Quickly. As evidenced by the Fact that Medical Trials Required by the FDA for a new Drug to come onto the market place takes about 7 years if all Stages of all Trials go smoothly. So by buying one edition late, I save about 90% of the cost, and receive about 95% "current" information.
I've used a Merck Manuel several times at work and own a Merck Manuel Home Edition. You can't beat it for finding information on illnesses, diseases, etc. and it may help you to learn the kind of intelligent questions you need to ask your doctor about your condition. In my opinion, it is one of the best medical books on the market. I was thrilled when I found this one on eBay! Thanks!
This manual contains great in depth medical information. It is indexed very well and easy to use. My old one was many years old and I needed current information. This is highly recommended for all medical professionals
