Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine: With Student Consult Online Access 21st Edition

I was always taught that Harrison's is king for Internal Medicine, and it may be. I own Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 17th Edition and CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2011 (LANGE CURRENT Series) but I use Davidson's. Maybe for someone who is on track to become an Internal Medicine Attending / Consultant this may be a bit lighter reading, but for everyone else I recommend Davidson's

Great with my Samsaung Galaxy Note 3 that I bought from Amazone as advertised that fulfilled my daily requirement. I rated 5 Stars. Thanks. I am planning to buy a few more items in very near future too. Hope Amazone will keep up Good Work as before with Customers.

PRODUCT IS TO THE POINT YET COMPREHENSIVE!VERY APPROPRIATE FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS, MEDICAL DOCTORS, PHARMACISTS, AND ANY MEMBER OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION WHO WANTS TO APPRECIATE THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.

Although it is required for med school, just off a glance it seems to be very thorough and can help in the future. It will take a while to read.

Perfect Review Source by Apps, Highly recommended for Old graduates, Interns & Students, Need to advertise this Book, Excellent Pictures.

This is THE best internal medicine book so far for any doctor at any stage.This book is extraordinarily neat and brilliantly designed(so you can see, they can put a huge amount of information inside such a modest size book):-The first few chapter is about ethics and communication skills and some basic science which I find must know for any doctor who is in clinical practice and has been away from basic science for awhile.Every system based chapter starts with a short relevant clinical examination box which is not complete but handy,basically tells you 'where/what you must look when examining a patient' and relevant anatomy and physiological overview of the chapters. Then comes about presenting problems and how to handle them and then discussion of diseases. It is very easy(possibly easiest) to read and understand, there is a lot of tables, flow charts and very high quality(both aesthetically and intellectually) images. Once you read a topic, no matter how difficult it is, you will always find the clearest and easiest explanation which is sufficiently exhaustive(both for saving your patient at hospital/practice and passing any internal medicine exam effortlessly--- 'practice question'). Inclusion of 'in pregnancy' and 'old age' boxes are very helpful especially for various exam and quick review purposes. 'Practice points' are not very exhaustive but a nice feature for quick review before wards anyway(though there is better book on practical procedures).However, I would recommend(especially you are a undergraduate student and not in UK):1. Get a different psychiatry text book. Psyc part is not sufficient here.2. For infectious disease, get a local book for epidemiology and antibiotic treatment.3. Review neuroanatomy from an anatomy book, you will have a better understanding of neurological disease then.4. Water, acid base and electrolyte disorder: I would like it more if there was more about SIADH and DI etc. Anyway, study this chapter wisely(i.e. when studying for exam, read it from a proper review book and if for treating patient go with some bigger book).5. Critical care: Very good overview/introduction, may be sufficient for exams but you will need a separate textbook if you are working at ICCU or going to work there in future.Overall: Medicine is a vast subject, no single book is sufficient when it comes about treating patient. So if you are an internist, use this book as the base, then add up from other books as you require. If you are not an internist, but want to have a sound knowledge of internal medicine(all physician needs) read this book without hesitation, you will never need another medicine book. As a single book, this is the most balanced and complete book. Highly recommended.

This is a great book, but I'm still having trouble adjusting to some of the international units used within. It is well written and easy to read. As a 3rd year medical student, I was also happy to find out that it was neither oversimplified nor over my head.

Very comprehensive and concise with excellent images. Makes for a good supplemental resource.
