Helpful resource
This review is definitely worth using to prepare for the GI boards. It is as well organized and comprehensive as any one source could be. I found it very useful and even answered questions that I remembered reviewing exactly from this book. However, I would recommend a supplementary review source as well, especially for color plates of histology andexamples of esophageal manometry and pH monitor readings etc. Overall, a good source.

This is all you need
I can't tell you how valuable this single resource is. The text is imminently readable and the info is right on the money. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of confusing resources until I locked on to this book. Using it alone, with no other study aid, I passed the boards. I strongly recommend this book to anyone taking the GI boards or the recert exam. Tremendously helpful. ... Read more

Great endoscopic picutures
This book has helped me tremendously. As a solo general surgeon recently out of residency, it is very helpful to have a GI atlas with great radiographs and endoscopic pictures with which to compare my patients' when I have a question. ... Read more

One of the best clinically-oriented texts ever!
The latest edition of Dame Sheila Sherlock's text on diseases of the liver is a welcome addition to the books available for those treating patients in the clinic. The text is easy to read and well organized. It is easy to find subjects of interest in the index and that cannot be said for every text in print currently. An excellent primer
Sheila Sherlock is like the bible for anyone interested in Hepatology. Although there are several other books more advanced and comprehensive, this is an essential primer to the subject of Hepatology. It's approach issimple, yet reasonably comprehensive and the illustrations are superlative.This is a book every aspiring hepatologist should own.

A layman's review of a difficult subject
If you need to read this book as a patient or significant other, do not despair excessively.It is written by and for specialists in the field, but with the aid of a medical dictionary and a sypathetic physician ornurse, you will be able to understand quite a great deal.This helps indemystifying the diseases contained within, giving you at least a foundationof vocabulary and watchsigns.It may help in discussions with yourphysician if you have a desire for very detailed information.The bookalso contains extremely extensive references.In the field, it seems to bethe best there is.Although the vocabulary and jargon may confuse a bit,use your medical dictionary (essential), and realize that there are notmany absolutes in this field.Each patient is an individual, not astatistic.Do not become depressed or anxious about the information--itcan seem a little overwhelming and only presents a very clinical, hard lookat liver disease.The text only contains the best of Western medicine anddoes not even remotely cover alternative therapies available to a patient. My advice is to have this as a Western medical reference and outlook.Butremember that there is usually another way--search for other answers fromalternative practitioners--accupuncture, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, herbsand herbalists, medical intuitives, healing books and tapes, etc.MostWestern doctors at this point often dismiss these alternatives, but theythemselves may be able to offer little to help the patient depending on thedisease.Think of yourself (the patient) as the center of the medicalteam--surround yourself with the best you can--people, therapies, positivethinking, etc.Never loose hope or give up.This field is advancingdaily, so this book may be out of date by the time you read it and you willhave to talk to your physician for the latest information.Most physicianswill be happy that their patients are well-informed about their conditionand should be happy to discuss any questions you have related to yourcondition--indeed this is their job. ...
