Highly Recommend by Truth Seeker (Highlands Ranch, CO USA) 5 Stars
May 18, 2008
I used previous versions of this guide to study in nursing school as the college disease manuals were too detailed. As a nurse, I use this manual not only for my own information and treatment of patients, but for patient teaching. Written in an easy to read, concise format, with symptoms, diagnostic information, and treatment protocols, I highly recommend this for the professional and the individual interested in having disease information readily available at home.

excellent resource for the health sciences by K. paddack (Huntington beach, ca) 5 Stars
August 21, 2006
I used the book as much as I did my drug and nursing procedure book during nursing school. I wished I had it when I was in respiratory therapy school years ago because it's a fantastic book. It's concise, accurate and organized very well. It also further organizes each heading by causes, signs/symptoms, how diagnosed and treatment, etc.

Professional Guide to Diseases by Vincent Storie (Edinburgh, IN) 5 Stars
January 19, 2003
This is an excellent book, pure and simple. It covers a wide variety of diseases, and explains each one well without going into excess and causing "information overload" (as some other medical reference books tend to do). Its format is clear and easily readable. It offers sound clinical and laboratory findings, making it a great resource material for students (such as myself). What impresses me the most is its coverage of the more rare diseases, something often neglected in other texts. I have found it invaluable in my studies, and highly recommend it.

Professional Guide to Diseases by Jeneva Johns (Mansfield, OH United States) 5 Stars
August 29, 2001
This is the BEST medical book to have in your home health care library. I have the second addition and have used it countless time to look up ailments for my family and friends. Although it is written for the medical professional, I find it very readable for a layman like myself. When I became very ill with viral encephalitis, this book helped me understand what was happening to me, how to take care of myself, and to show my family what I was going through so they wouldn't worry. ... Again, I would recomend this book to the non-medical reader as a wonderful reference they will come bact to time and time again. ... And as an author, this text offers good hard facts on medical conditions my fictional characters have. ... Good book, I'm ordering the newest version today.
