George Metz: The text is exactly why you need it for your course

michelle robert: I love the format, the algorithms, and the way it walks the reader through the process of narrowing a differential. However, there is a glaring lack of women's body parts included. The abdominal pain section doesn't mention uterine fibroids or endometriosis (which effects ten percent of fertile women and half of women who present to a gastroenterologist with abdominal pain and diarrhea) but is never mentioned. Pelvic inflammatory disorder and ectopic pregnancy barely get a mention in the abdominal pain section and ectopics are life threatening. The words uterus, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and vulva aren't even in the index. If we want to improve the sexism baked into women's healthcare, we need better textbooks.

Maggie: This is the ideal book for students or clinicians that want to build on their ability to form a differential diagnosis and carry it through to a diagnosis and treatment. Great for use during a clinical clerkship, residency, or as an attending. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!

nadia maski: I like how it talks about all potential diagnoses and clues to differentiate between them in Hx and physical exam. Very organized.

Amie: Easy to ready, simple to follow. I don’t usually rate textbooks but this one deserves some credit. Each chapter begins with a hypothetical case and walks your through what to do next and then the case changes and the book does the subsequent steps again. Well done.
