Description: First Edition THE MERCK MANUAL OF MEDICAL INFORMATION Home Edition Good book to have around for medical information. FINALLY. A MEDICAL REFERENCE THAT ISN'T ABOVE YOUR HEAD. OR BELOW DOCTORS' STANDARDS. First published in 1899, The Merck Manual has become the trusted medical reference doctors use most, but it hasn't been written for the general public - until now. The Merck Manual - Home Edition continues the heritage of the physicians' version by maintaining the content, accuracy, and attention to detail that healthcare professionals have felt confident using for nearly a century, but is written in easy-to-understand, everyday language. Use it to communicate more effectively with your doctor, to understand a diagnosis or treatment option, or simply to know more about your health and the health of those you care about.
