Merck Manual of Medical Information - Home Edition - Various

Description

This 'home edition' continues the heritage of the physicians'version by maintaining the content,accuracy, & attention to detail that healthcare professionals have felt confident using for nearly a century. (1997) R. Berkow (Editor in Chief) 1509 pages

Merck - a world leader in breakthrough medical research - has a long tradition of providing medical information to doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals.

Perhaps the best evidence of Merck's dedication is 'The Merck Manual', the trusted medical reference doctors have used most since 1899,

Although it is one of the most widely used sources of medical information in the world, it isn't written for the general public.

Now the book that doctors have trusted for almost a century comes home. 'The Merck Manual of Medical Information - Home Edition' is the home reference version of 'The Merck Manual'.

It contains virtually all of the information in the physicians' version, but is written in easy-to-understand, everyday language with a reader-friebdly format.

Written by 200 internationally respected medical experts, 'The Merck Manual - Home Edition' covers human diseases and disorders - from pregnancy through adult maturity - as well as detailed discussion of prescription and over-the-counter medications, including use and interactions.

Sections contain overviews on anatomy and physiology; in-depth information on symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options; and detailed illustrations.

Special sections include women's, men's, and children's health; geriatric care; psychiatry; legal issues; and care of those who are dying.

Along with the dictionary or road atlas, it will be a well-used source of information - essential for anyone who needs clarification of a diagnosis, wants a quick reference of a medical term, or would like to communicate more effectively with a healthcare professional.

'The Merck Manual - Home Edition' is published as a not-for-profit service by Merck - a short name for a company with a long commitment to making the world a healthier place.
