############## REVIEWS ##############
This book is really smaller, faster and smarter. All differential diagnoses and their labs are included. And it works. Good job!"
Very handy and powerful. All differential diagnoses are in a very small form factor. Contains a list of over 800 symptoms, abnormal findings and physical signs. Even all relevant laboratory tests and their differential diagnoses are included. For students, residents, nurses and all other healthcare professionals. I use this book several times a day and really can recommend it.
As a doctor I would say the book is excellent. Even though this is not a teaching book, it gives you a complete overview of all relevant DD. The book does not help you to differ, which DD are the most relevant and which are not. But if there is a question, look inside, think and you will not miss any important DD. So this is good for students as well. That much information in such a small book: 5 stars!"
This book provides a wealth of useful, easily accessible information.
This is really an amazing book. The differential diagnoses are very easy to interpret, and there is a wealth of information about all the common diseases seen in a hospital setting. As already mentioned, all relevant labs and their DDx are included as well. As an Internal Medicine resident, I would give it 2 thumbs up. An essential pocket book to carry around. Smaller, faster and smarter.
