Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I find this book very useful. I think the pictures are great. Every disease has several pictures to make sure you have a good idea of what your looking at. I also like the concept of providing the clinician with a couple of quick definitive tests that can be done to make a “rapid diagnosis.” I think that is a nice feature.My only criticism is that there is not enough text in the book. I never thought I would hear myself say that about a book but it is true in this case. The book provides a nice bullet point summary of each disease and treatment options, but there are times when I am not familiar with the treatment or how to perform the diagnostic tests and I wish there was more discussion of that.
