It is straight forward and concise.I recommend it to every household.It covers every field of medical concerns.

Purchase Of The Year!

I have used the Merck Manual for many years as a Safety Manager dealing with occupational injuries and illnesses. This new manual is a valuable update of this information.

I’m a physician assistant and bought this bec the Merck medical manual is v good - this seemed to be great but was a gift for someone so I didn’t go thru the book much bec I didn’t want to break the spine. What I saw looked v comprehensive and well written for the lay person. They haven’t gotten the gift yet so didn’t hear back as of today.

Many updates from the first book that I bought in 2000. This manual is a keeper to have in your home.

I got this for my mom who is a retired RN and she loves it!

This was a great gift to my brother.
