5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST in Rheumatology, Sep 29 2009

By	Marc Mony (Rimouski, Qc, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Paperback)

Well I owned a very old version (early 1980ies; half of an inch thin!) and decided to look for a more recent edition I could refer to instead of looking for a recent review of a rheumatologic subject each time I needed one. I was amazed that it still existed and much more surprized by how thick the most recent edition was ! Well it is still comprehensive and well written. I'll surely recommend to my gray hair peers as well as to younger colleagues !

4.0 out of 5 stars NICE BOOK WITH PRACTICAL ORIENTATION, Jan 29 2003

By	reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly good but..., Jan 5 2003

By	Rheumor (New Orelans) - See all my reviews

...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.
