Amazon.com Review
This is serious stuff. The most widely used medical text in the world and the hypochondriac's bible, the Merck has the lowdown on the vast expanse of human diseases, disorders and injuries, as well as their symptoms and recommended therapy. It's intended for physicians and medical students, but though the type is tiny and the language technical, the Merck's a valuable volume for anyone with more than a passing interest in bodily ills.

this book is worth the price November 4, 2009
R. Bridges (Asheville NC)
This book was purchased to replace the one my father in law used during his practice. He was happy with the price of the book, the promptness of the delivery and it had the same format as his previous book. Thank you

Carole S. Kirkpatrick (EUGENE OR)
I WAS DISAPPOINTED MILDLY. THE PREVIOUS VERSION I HAD
WAS HEAVIER, GRANTED, BUT MUCH MORE READABLE AND MORE
ILLUSTRATIONS WHICH I PREFER. THE PRINT IS VERY SMALL, TOO,
SO ALL IN ALL I DONT FIND IT USER FRIENDLY ALTHO INFORMATION
IS ALL CORRECT . CK

Everything was great, it was on time and in the conditions I expected it to be
Merck Manual August 25, 2009
S. Falcone (Groton, CT USA)
The manual is divided by the human body system (i.e. derm, neuro, muscle, etc.). This is both good and bad. Good if you know what system is causing the problem, but not good if you're not sure. I have a biology background so I thought I'd be able to understand a lot of it, but it is quite technical in the verbiage. It's better than the internet because it describes the rarity or commonness of the disease/ailment, which if you've ever googled an ailment you know how scary that can be! It is succinct and not dramatic. I can definitely relate to why doctors seem so calm, because the technical side is very matter-of-fact. Overall, I'm glad I own it and would recommend it; however, I will definitely supplement it with other medical books.
a must tool August 23, 2009
Israel Olivolo (CA)
If you are in health care in any of the many fields there isn't any way you can know everything
and that is where this tool is a absolute treasure. it's small and it is accredited and accurate.
