Atlas of Internal Medicine

Currently seems to be the best available atlas in Internal medicine for english speaking readers.But one should be warned, that at least half of the books contents is graphic and textual material (charts, diagrams), despite the boasting of having 1500 images.

The book is not bad, but surprisingly it doesn't have enough images & photos as expected. one of the shocking things for me i couldn't find photos for herberden or bouchard's nodules !!!!!

Internal medicine is a very broad subject with diverse subspecialties. Physicians and medical students probably will not forget how they painfully hardcore the medicine textbook. Usually we forgot the tremendous amount of text what we read.However, people do remember pictures more easily. This excellent updated atlas provides readers an interesting learning experience by making use of a lot of pictures and flow charts which already cover the majority of the common and uncommon diseases.I'm an internal medicine resident right now and I constantly refer to it for studying and preparing professional examination. I really wish I could have a copy when I was a medical student.Don't hesitate. This is one of the few must-have in your personal library.

Excellent pictures and much more, like a texbook. I am really impress. Renato (Board Certified Internal Medicine).
