5 Stars! "...a comprehensive tome with an eBook version that covers adult and pediatric medical topics relevant to today''s practitioners.... This book continues to serve as a single-source reference for physicians and allied health professionals in a variety of settings. It remains a user-friendly, relevant, and comprehensive book for busy professionals who strive to provide efficient, evidence-based care.... The book’s sections continue to be well-organized, and the writing remains succinct and easy to follow,... [and] continues to be useful for practitioners that desire a quick reference or a slightly deeper dive into clinical topics. It would still very helpful for practitioners to include obesity treatment and other behavioral health topics such as generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar affective in the print version. [It] remains a valuable resource for practicing clinicians through its consistent, clear format and clinically relevant information.... As I have noted in the past, evidence-based medicine is ever changing, and books require constant updating to keep busy clinicians at the forefront of medical care-this book does just that." Rev
