Description: First Edition THE MERCK MANUAL OF MEDICAL INFORMATION Home Edition Good book to have around for medical information. FINALLY. A MEDICAL REFERENCE THAT ISN'T ABOVE YOUR HEAD. OR BELOW DOCTORS' STANDARDS. First published in 1899, The Merck Manual has become the trusted medical reference doctors use most, but it hasn't been written for the general public - until now. The Merck Manual - Home Edition continues the heritage of the physicians' version by maintaining the content, accuracy, and attention to detail that healthcare professionals have felt confident using for nearly a century, but is written in easy-to-understand, everyday language. Use it to communicate more effectively with your doctor, to understand a diagnosis or treatment option, or simply to know more about your health and the health of those you care about.

This is a remarkable contribution....Doctors should encourage their patients to own it.” - Sherwin Nuland, M.D., Clinical Professor of Surgery, Yale School of Medicine; author of How We Die, Doctors, and The Wisdom of the Body "The manual is comprehensive, thorough, well-written, and understandable." - Bernadine Healy, M.D., Dean, Ohio State University College of Medicine; former Director of the National Institutes of Health; author of A New Prescription for Women's Health "Essential for all medical, consumer health, and public libraries - Library Journal's starred review "The Home Edition will be of great use to those who want a ready source of understandable medical information Rodman D.
