AMA Family Medical Guide 4th Edition October 13, 2009
Scarlett White (Bethlehem, GA)
I have the first edition that I have used for years. It has been so helpful. I decided that I needed to get the most recent edition due to breakthroughs in Medical treatments and medications. I didn't have to think about who I trusted for this information. I looked for the American Medical Association Family Medical Guide latest edition and purchased it right away. Again, this guide has not failed me. More information and updated to fit my needs. I recommend getting this book for your family. Easy to read and broken into terms that even your youngest can understand. Symptom charts are easy to follow and helpful. Get this book, It may just save you life!

Sylvia Fischer (Kitchener, ON Canada)
This book is an earlier edition of one that I have had for many years. It is a very useful reference book. I want to give a copy to each of my married children for Christmas this year because I feel it is an important addition to their libraries and one that they would not probably invest in at this point in their lives. The new edition is much bigger and even more comprehensive than previous ones. I feel confident that they will consult it often, as I do and it will be a valuable learning tool for them and for their children as they grow older.
Invaluable resource May 26, 2009
LoCo1 (Maryland, USA)
We bought our first FMG over 20 years ago and it has been an invaluable resource in addressing health needs in our family. We thought it was time to get the latest edition and we have not been disappointed. Every family needs to have a book like readily at hand and we highly recommend it.
Great medical information source! May 2, 2009
Renee D. Groot
I had the older (1982) edition and greatly appreciated it. However, I was looking forward to a newer, updated edition. This new one has been even better than I hoped. It's easy to use especially with the self-diagnosis symptom charts. There's quite a bit of new information, diagrams, charts, and clear pictures. The pictures (visual aids to diagnosis) are especially helpful for identifying things like rashes, skin marks, and other things that are easily confused. Overall, I am very pleased and greatly value this resource!
