The Standard by which All Obstetrics Texts are measured
There is perhaps no medical specialty that has more misconceptions, "wives tales" and variation than Obstetrics.Williams Obstetrics is more exhaustively comprehensive than any other text for general Obstetrics.Williams has long prided itself on presenting "evidence-based medicine" - separating the wives tales from medical knowledge obtained from published studies from peer-reviewed journals.Perhaps there are those who prefer their Obstetrics with a little voodoo.For those who want to know the most up-to-date scientifically based Obstetrics, Williams is your book!

Have the older version.
Used this in medical school. Excellent resource. In my time google and yahoo were not around, so this was the quick source. now that [...] is around, not as necessary, but still valuable. There is a pediatric version as well.
Great reference through the years
I have been using various iterations of Fitzpatrick throughout my 12 years of practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner. The organization, wealth of information, excellent photography (it really looks like what a provider sees in a person's skin!) all make it an invaluable reference. I am pleased to see the addition of more photography involving people of color, as upwards of 50% of the US population is now minority.

Great reference
My preference overall in terms of derm texts is Habif, mostly due to organization, but this one comes in a close second.Lots of great pics and simple straightforward explanations (sometimes a little too simple).Also probably a great book for laypeople with some knowledge of medical terminology. ...

Great resource.
I thought the text was great for those who are FNP's. It was a required text for my track. However, as an ACNP, it is a little lacking for more of the acute information, but other than that it's a great resource and reference.

FNP Guidelines
This is a remarkable book that gives the FNP, whether novice or expert, the continuity that is needed for the profession.I hope this will be updated soon.I don't want to buy another one until then but mine is getting pretty dog eared!

Current OB and GYN Dx and Tmt
As a busy 4th yr resident, there is hardly any time to read the major OB/GYN textbooks. This text is a good review of major concepts in OB/GYN. It's a very easy read.

Great book for 3rd year med school
I used this book as a supplement to my 3rd year clerkship in med school.It is not a huge text, so it was great for looking up the details that were not found in Blueprints, especially if you are interested in OB for a career.The book is well organized and is easy to read.Too much to read for board review or shelf exams, but an excellent reference book for OB/GYN.

39th Edition of Gray's Anatomy (Susan Standring, Ed.)
Totally distinct from earlier editions is the radically different organization of this classical textbook: the human body is no longer described as containing different systems - the skeleton, the vascular system, the nervous system,...- but the body is now divided in regions. The reason for this radical change, chief editor Susan Standring (King's College, London) explains, is that in the real world, practising clinicians in their daily practice use a regional approach, rather than a systemic view. Therefore, it is understood that the new, 39th Edition of Gray's Anatomy is more adapted to the needs of surgeons, radiologists and other clinicians, than to medical students or scientists interested in the area of human anatomy. However, there is some consideration of the editors for a section `systemic overview'. So, the endocrine system, the blood (haematopoietic) and immune system are not entirely overlooked.
THE book
This is the only anatomy book you will need, as a physician or med student, and it is beatiful to the eyes too.

GREAT BOOK
this book has everything you need not only for anatomy, also for embryology and histology, i think it's one of the greatest books ever written for a medical subject, in med school i have used the Moore's clinically oriented anatomy and the four books of Rouviere's Anatomy and i prefered Gray's Anatomy ...

out of syn child
I got the book in great condition, and I can't really review it higher because I haven't gotten through the whole book yet. It seems very helpful so far, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

At last!!!!
I was told about this book by a doctor andfinally I feel better knowing there is a name for what our child was experiencing.We thought it was odd he never cuddled and did not like to walk on certain textures, etc. As i read this book,I could picture exactly how our child would react to situations and it all clicked. Now he is getting a therapist trained in sensory development.

A Must Read for ANY parent
This book is the must-read for every parent, whether their children suffer from sensory integration or not.It is an eye opening look into the way we interpret our surroundings, and has given me information, tools, and hope for my daughter, who suffers severe developmental delays from this disorder.I would highly reccommend this book! ...

Tissue paper.
Probably great for PA boards and FP boards, but don't listen to the forums that recommend this for Step 2 or 3.

Too many errors
I'm studying for my third PA recertification exam and thought this would be a good tool to use.Unfortunately, this book has lots of mistakes, leaving me questioning what I know is correct.It has a great layout, is easy to read, and has nice summaries for each topic.But if you're unsure of the accuracy of the information, you end up going to other sources to study, which is double the work.

worthless book for USMLE Step 3
Everybody in my residency said that was the book they studied for their Step 3. The moment I turned a couple of pages I realised this will definitely not the way the Step 3 would be.

Solid review
I used this for board recertification and I do think it was very helpful and would strongly recommend it. My trivial complaints: 1) The wording of some of the questions was fantastically convoluted. Fortunately the board exam questions were straight forward and did not require sentence diagramming. 2) There is tremendous variability in difficulty between chapters. 3) They should jettison the humor as it is forced, unfunny and as a result of stopping and thinking, "Oh , yeah, I haven't heard that one today," slows down the text. 4) I really hated the political and politically correct commentary.

Definitely Worth Buying and All You Need
I used this book to prepare for the Board Exam this year (2006) and found it to be exremely helpful, not only to pass the exam but also as a means of obtaining some really useful information for clinical practice.For instance, it provided a terrific approach to evaluating a patient with kidney stone disease.It really clarified the type of workup one should do and the various medical options for preventing a recurrence, something I had yet to see presented effectively.It was also funny at times and I would encourage the editors to include more humor.The only criticism I have is that it sometimes reviewed topics that are too specialized for family doctors and what we need to know both for the exam and for our practice.Some questions that are asked would be ones that only a subspecialist would/should know.

Excellent!
Love the format of explainations after every question. After reviewing my in-service exams I found the topics and information very similar.I would definitely buy it again. ... Read more

Great Reference Book
Very easy to use, concise advice on the most common fractures.Not a definitive ortho text, but does exactly what the title indicates.Worth the price for anyone in primary care or urgent care environments.

Awesome Book!
Again, this is an essential book, especially for the Family Practitioner just starting out. I have just graduated residency and am working alone at an Urgent Care Center, and I use this book almost every shift! Gives good, clear advice for managing the most common fractures encountered, and when (and more importantly, how quickly) to refer to ortho! Love It, worth every penny!

Solid, conservative help
I am a family doctor with a number of years in a semi-rural practice and more than my share of ER time.Fracture Management is a good, solid, conservative reference for it's intended audience.It will certainly keep you out of trouble.Due to it's brevity, there are a number of conditions that are missing, mostly less common problems, but sometimes the book does not cover the particular variant of the fracture you are seeing.Dislocations are largely not included. The photographs of x-rays are helpful when they are present, and I often show the patient the picture in the book as it often illustrates their fracture better than our sometimes crummy x-ray.Unfortunately, not all the photos clearly demonstrate what they aim to.

Very useful book
As a teacher I found that this book had many fun and functional activities.I do wish this book had more activities for older (teenage) students with moderate to severe disabilities; but, a great book overall.

Best Book for Sensory Integration out there!!
I *LOVED* this book.It was such a quick read that I got through it in two days, *with* two kids underfoot, but there certainly was no lack in valuable content to read.This has transformed the way that I understand and work with my daughter, and she has had a diagnosis for sensory integration disorder for years!I reccommend this to *any* parent, even those without sensory kids....

Best resource for activities I've found!
I found this book very helpful for use in my field as a social worker who works with children and adolescents, not just with sensory issues, but across a wide spectrum of issues.This book offers MANY activities targeting children of all ages and with diverse interests, and I have also found it helpful to recommend to parents as options for activities to entertain their kids with! ...

A "Must Have"
This is a great reference book to have in your library. I use it almost every day. Very well organized and complete.

Must have for physician
This was my preferred physical exam test. Use Bates as a quick intro, then use DeGowin to understand the physiology and learn the eponyms. If you read this, you can definately impress on internal medicine rounds. Classic classic classic. The next book to get would be Sapira's. After you read that, you'll be the "Classic" physician with superb diagnostic skills.
A tour de force
This book is the eight edition of a venerable work first written in 1965 by the great Elmer DeGowin, MD. Dr. DeGowin was a professor of medicine at the University of Iowa, and contributed immensely to research in transfusion medicine. Perhaps because of this, he is commonly remembered today as a hematologist, but this specialist designation, while recognizing his obvious expertise in this area of medicine, does not do justice to Dr. DeGowin's eclectic interest in migraine, trauma, thyroid disorders and many other areas of internal medicine. He was in his time the broadly trained master clinician. Read more
