 Merck medical manual 2nd edition July 7, 2008
What a great reference. I had the first edition but this second addition includes more information. Easy to read, find and understand.

This is a book every home should have. We've used it for years and just gave copies to two of our daughters.

The Merck Manual you sent me was a gift to my sister, who just graduated from nursing school. She loves it, and knows she will use it often in her nursing career. Thank you! jeanne
Up-to-date medical info April 28, 2008
The Home Edition of the Merck Manual (the Merck Manual is used by medical professionals) gives you the newest (look at the year of the edition) detailed and specific medical info with causes/ symptoms/ diagnoses/ prevention+treatment. For treatment, the Merck Manual generally tells you what a doctor might or should do and what tests could and should be done and what kind of drugs might be used, but it generally does not tell you how to treat yourself with home remedies. But it tells you a lot of things doctors don't want or forget to tell you (like the duration or the outlook of certain diseases or side effects of drugs or accuracy of tests). If you are paranoid, you do not want to read a Merck Manual (you might identify yourself or others with all kinds of diseases).
Merck Manual January 8, 2008
The Merck Manual is by far the most comprehensive and informative medical reference I have seen. Most doctors usually have one on their desk. The information contained therein covers a myriad of medical terms and ailments. For simple ailments it provides easily understood terms and when a visit to the doctor is recommended. I don't believe a home should be without one. I recently sent my six children one for their ready reference.
