CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2009 (LANGE CURRENT Series)

Description

This is a great everyday reference book for the Urgent Care/Family Practice practitioner. I work part-time in an Ambulatory Care Clinic and it's been very useful for the "peripheral brain"-type information you need now and then. This book doesn't go into much detail, but it's good for a quick go-to for most illnesses. Great book for the price. Contents......Page 4 Authors......Page 10 Preface......Page 16 1.
