A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This condensed version is for anyone who has the remotest association with the practice of medicine, be they internists, surgeons, nurses, technical staff, or counselors. This is the authority, and in a time of readily available but not always accurate information, this is the one source that can be relied upon, in an almost pocket-sized edition....While the main text is one of the absolute pillars of any medical library, this is the pillar to be carried with you on rounds. It is the final word in internal medicine and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the editors and contributors who have created this extraordinary authority in medicine."--Doody's Review Service

Format:Paperback
I carry this book with me to work. I am an internal medicine specialist. Useful for getting a quick summary and useful for dipping into at random. Presented concisely and interestingly. Would complement the big harrisons. I haven't seen better.

BRELLIANT MANUAL OF HARRISONS TEXTBOOK OF INTERNAL MEDICINE WHICH CONTAINS THE HIGH LIGHTS & KEY FACTS OF THE FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL TEXTBOOK.IT COVERS ALL THE IMPORTANT TOPICS IN DIFFERENT SPECIALITIES OF INTERNAL MEDICINE WITH EMPHASIS ON THE PRACTICAL ISSUES LIKE MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT WHICH ARE COVERED IN DETAILS.
IT DOES NOT COVER THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OR RARE PRESENTATIONS BUT IT REFERS TO THE MAIN TEXTBOOK PAGES TO READ MORE ABOUT THE SUBJECT UNDER STUDY.
IT CONTAINS SMART TABLES OF AETIOLOGY.
IT IS VERY GOOD FOR ANY PRACTISING PHYSICIAN OR TRAINEE IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AS WELL AS MEDICAL STUDENTS IN THEIR CLINICAL STUDIES & PBL-SESSIONS.
FINALLY I THINK IT IS VALUE FOR MONEY.

So So!!!
4 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
I understand the intention of Harrison's editors to provide us with a little version of this standard textbook, but honestly, I don't like it. I have owned several editions of this book, but I have never used it, because it is not a practical book. It is short in practical details (like disease management) and long in some other details. If you are looking for a handbook that can help you in clinical practice, forget about this one. There are so many better books out there (Washington, Ferri's,...). This book can be helpful for medical students to review medicine before exams or rotations. However, I have to say that new edition is much better than previous ones. At least it has more algorithms. Also, stay away from PDA version. It is even more stripped down! For your PDA, I highly recommend Ferri's Practical Guide or Washington Manual or 5 Minutes Clinical Consult.

The Bible of Internal Medicine in "Pocket" Form
15 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent resource for those questions that need quick, consise answers. The chapters for Harrison's Principles of Internal medicine are neatly summarized into quick-reading two or three page summaries, with many helpful charts and management tips. Depth and underlying pathophysiology is not well covered, but that's what the big book (Principles) is for. My only complaint is that with this edition, the book is about 5"x8", which doesn't fit into my coat pocket. The companion to the 14th edition (4"x6") is virtually identical in information, and fits in my pocket.

Good... but not great
19 May 2006
Format:Paperback
I bought this book at the beginning of my 3rd year medicine rotation and used it for several weeks. It was good... but I did not find the layout and algorithms to be user friendly. It has the information.. but I found myself searching in various sections to find what I needed many a time. Overall a good book, but having experimented with others for my other medicine and family medicine rotations, I would recc that you peruse through either Medicine Recall, Consult Manual of Internal Medicine, &/or Pocket Medicine. All are great... and have different styles. Its simply a matter of personal preferance.
