Summary: Cecil Textbook of Medicine
Comment: My first Textbook of Medicine was purchased way back in 1971. Since then, I update regularly, and feel the older editions are still useful so keep them along with the latest edition. I find this compendium of medical information absolutely critical for the health professional as well as for the well-educated health consumer. I am now in the process of purchasing the latest edition for the library of the local health department for which I consult. The various sections are written and edited by top professionals in their respective fields and may not be easily understandable to the non-physician, but for those looking for accurate information on a variety of infectious, chronic, hereditary, etc. illnesses, it is well worth the extra effort. For those who are not physicians, the purchase of a good medical dictionary to be used concurrently with this book is probably a wise idea.

Summary: Cecil
Comment: I first bought this book in Medical School and I still use it almost every week after 14 years. It is thorough and consise-- provides a bit of theory and a lot of practical information in a scholarly style. If youre a reader, get this book-- you may find yourself reading a reference book in your spare time. I would like to go to a physician who used Cecil Medicine as a reference. If youre not a natural reader, forget it and just buy the latest copy of the Washington Manual.

Summary: I am disappointed
Comment: I know Cecil for several years.
I am using it together with Harrison for the last 20 years.
I bought the 22nd edition with the web version.
It looks wonderful, but....
Try and compare the chapter on hyponatremia and compare it to Harrison. Try and find Carbamazepine on the list of drugs causing hyponatremia...you cannot find it in Cecil (but it is in Harrison and in the "current").
What about amiodarone and hyperthyroidsm? It is hardly mentioned in Cecil, and well described in Harrison (and in good old "current").
So, let's wait to the new edition of Harrison.
