CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2010, Forty-Ninth Edition (LANGE CURRENT Series) Review
I'm an M4, and I really like this book. It contains information about a lot of diseases encountered in general medicine, but it is not too in-depth. I used it a lot to study for USMLE Step 2CK (in addition to Crush Step 2). I used it as a reference book, reading about topics which I poorly understand. I like the wording. I like the photos in the middle. It is also a great value -- I don't think I even paid for it brand new. It is my opinion that anyone who wants to break the average on medicine boards or USMLE Step 2CK should read from this book throughout M3 year, or at least during your medicine rotation.
CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2010, Forty-Ninth Edition (LANGE CURRENT Series) Overview
The #1 annually updated text in internal medicine!
The annual classic that puts research where it belongs...into your practice
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW
"This is for everyone looking for medical information, from house officers, residents, and practicing physicians to patients and family members. There is very little unnecessary text and the book is quite easy to use with a modicum of medical knowledge....This book has the tremendous benefit of being updated yearly and thus has stood the test of time for recognizing what is helpful and what works. It is well worth the price and a great addition to a primary care practitioner's library."--Doody's Review Service
