quite decent stuff, sometimes helps when i'm out of differentials. however i expected more clinical/paraclinical interpetation to exclude one or another condition. All in all it's ok for the price you pay.

Simple, Concise, Handy
17 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I'm doing an Emergency Medicine rotation and find this book has been really helpful for looking up a good Differential Diagnosis, "Red Flag" conditions to exclude in ER, as well as what basic tests to order, etc. I can see it would be very helpful for Family Medicine rotation or even Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic.
I am definitely keeping it for intern year in a few months.

not too bad... but was expecting a bit more
11 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
i am a medical student and i was looking for some sort of diagnostic sieve/flow chart in a book to help me streamline and categorize my thought process towards developing useful differentials.. and i came upon this book... although it is helpful in this regard, i was expecting a bit more differentials, as well as a bit more details in the pathophysiology and treatment sections given that it was a MERCK.....nonetheless this book is worth buying given its price and has served its purpose somewhat... looking forward to future revisions

The Merck Manual resorted, repackaged--and rejected
15 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
It's seldom a good sign when a content provider chooses to repurpose existing material instead of developing NEW material, but this is what we seem to have with the Merck Manual of Patient Symptoms. The book proudly boasts that it "enables users to quickly find information they need to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients," which only raises the question of what all the OTHER versions of the Merck Manual are supposed to do. To be fair, the long-in-the-tooth, resting-on-its-laurels Merck Manuals are probably in NEED of a makeover--but this ain't it. What we're left with is a book Short on innovation and quality that is likely to take the fast Lane to the bargain bins at your local bookstore.
