NICE BOOK WITH PRACTICAL ORIENTATION,
By reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Paperback)
Embellished with colourful figures and tables, this "Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases" handled general rheumatology in way that would appeal to both clinicians and students. Its practical orientation include the diagnosis and management of all sorts of rheumatic disorders.It familiarizes its reader with the different patterns of disease progression, before offering diagnostic and therapeutic options. It is a fine book, whose coverage of physiotherapy and pain assessment are more than satisfactory.

Certainly good but...,
By Rheumor (New Orelans) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Paperback)
...getting too long. This was one of the most useful little books a med student could hope for, a really concise look into a single subject area. I used it for my 4th year elective, then the next edition for my Rheum rotation as a PGY-II, and then throughout Fellowship. I give the latest edition to each med student who rotates through our Rheum clinic, but I find they are less and less impressed by it as the size of the Primer approaches that of a textbook. The information is still excellent, but I think it's getting too big for the niche it has always occupied. If you really want that much info, buy the latest Kelley.

A must read for all medical students and aspiring MDs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Paperback)
This book is a true masterpiece in its succint, yet elegant synopsis of the chief disorders of rheumatology. The clinical correlations are salient and the abundance of photographs and tables provide the reader with a valuable and powerful tool in their conquest of medical illness.
