Great student resource!,
By
This review is from: CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2009 (Paperback)
This books is a great resource for medical students. I am in my 4th year and am currently travelling around on electives; this book is a very good general internal medicine information source. Unfortunately, it's not as good for symptom-to-diagnostic information (e.g.: it will not give you the DDx for chest pain); however it is perfect if you see a case of a particular syndrome in clinic and you want to read about it the following evening.

concise and readable review/ update book,
By C. V. Atencio "in training" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2009 (Paperback)
I had a prior edition of this book and was very satisfied with it. As a general review it is fast and detailed enough. I was taking the USMLE tests back then. Now I am doing my residency training, and I am in Psychiatry; but I still need an updated source to review about other problems that my patients may have. It is not as detailed and slow to read as other texts (Farreras-Rozman, Harrison) and still does the job.

An affordable and compact alternative,
By A. Chang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2009 (Paperback)
Although not fancy by any means, the Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment (CMDT) is a fantastic portable referance for primary care providers. It is easy to use and read with various invaluable tables and charts. For the price, the CMDT is a great first choice. The CMDT is considered the Physician Assistants' and Nurse Practitioners' "bible" for passing certification exams.

Inaccurate,
By Justin Reilly, esq. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2009 (Paperback)
On the topic of ME (CFS) almost every statement was false or misleading. For example, evidence for the only two general treatments recommended, CBT and GET, is inconsistent at best and these interventions certainly have greatly increased morbidity in many cases. Clinicians are told to tell patients that most patients recover. Yet, recovery rates in studies are generally 4-8%. A high incidence of child abuse is cited, but the study relied upon (Heim) has been widely discredited (see journal articles by Prof. Leonard Jason).
