Product Description
Product Description
For the past twenty years the publishers of THE MERCK MANUAL, one of the most widely used sources of medical information in the world, realised that more and more copies of the guide were being purchased by people who were not healthcare professionals, despite the fact that it had never been advertised and was not written for public use. Recognising the public's increasing need for access to the same medical information doctors have, Merck responded with the HOME EDITION. This contained virtually all the information in the physician's version, but in easy-to-understand, everyday language, with a reader-friendly format. Since its publication three years ago the HOME EDITION has gone on to sell more than 2 million copies worldwide. Now Merck have updated the edition to cater for the changing medical environment. The new edition contains new chapters on subjects ranging from Gene Therapy Heart disease Cancer Nutrition problems Hormonal problems Men's, women's and children's health issues

This book is a treasure! If you are interested in medicine or want to know more about ilnesses, their symptoms, possible treatments, then this book is just for you. It is the answer to almost all medical questions. I would definately recommend it as a guide for the whole family.

Excellent medical info written in language which is comprehensible to the lay person. Not for putting in your handbag, though, as it's a big fat tome.The Merck Manual of Medical Information (Merck Manual of Medical Information, Home Ed.)

Great Value and so easy to read
14 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
What a great value and so easy to read! I bought the mayo clinic guide and was disappointed with how obtuse the medical explanations were.
I'm no doctor! I just want to know what my kids are sick with!
So I returned it and decided to go with the new Merck Manual.
In addition to a great price, it was actually easy to read. I won't make that mistake twice, that's for sure.
I can't recommend this Health Book enough, especially to parents anxious about their kids health.

Great Handbook
14 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
I have been looking for a Home health guide for a while now. I have been using the Mayo Clinic one and have found it to be very difficult to find the information that I am looking for and to understand it as well. So I was very pleased when I came across the Merck manual. It is very easy to understand and has a wealth of information.
