Review quotes
Review quotes
'It is hard to find any other text with this combination of information in just one volume, containing as it does aspects of medicine and surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, behavioural medicine and diagnostic know-how. The quality and sheer volume of information in the book make it a useful addition to any practice library.'
VN Times, June 2008
The book covers a lot of ground and is a source of a very large amount of clinically relevant information, much of which is well-referenced. There is good coverage of most medical disorders, some reference to surgical management, where appropriate, and a large amount of information provided in tables, appendices and drug formularies. There is also a liberal use of references. The quality of the book's materials and the sheer volume of information contained within this unusual text make it a useful addition to any practice library.
