The Osler Medical Handbook Reviews

Basically, a medical text is deemed worthy of widespread use when it is able to convey cutting-edge data in a clear and cogent manner. And that's just what the authors and editors of Osler's have done with this manual -- buidling an in-office reference that outlines the most common diseases and disordered the clinician is likely to encounter in daily practice. As Osler's infers with its carefully ordered analysis of human health, the best doctors know that no case is routine and that no diagnosis is easy. To the contrary, sound patient care takes dedication and a mastering of the fundamentals of the scientific process, this never-ending process of testing and assessment that allows the clinician to alleviate patient suffering. In accordance with this sacred mission, The Osler Medical Handbook is an artful resource with long-lasting value. - The Electric Review, May-June 2006
