Busy primary care clinicians will welcome the latest edition of this text. Previous editions have served as popular standard textbooks for students, residents, and practicing physicians. This newest edition should guarantee its continued popularity.
The editors and most of the contributors are affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and, as a result, the text is oriented toward the urban general internist. However, this is not an encyclopedic textbook detailing every disease; the text is selective. There are 102 chapters devoted to common diseases and clinical problems of the ambulatory adult patient, which are organized into 15 sections representing the various medical subspecialties or organ systems. Among these 15 sections are those devoted to "Psychiatric and Behavioral Problems," "Musculoskeletal Problems," "Selected General Surgical Problems," "Gynecological Problems," and "Problems of the Eyes and Ears." There is also a section addressing miscellaneous problems of the skin, mouth, and feet.
