This book is outstanding. As a physician who cares for a large Hispanic population, I found this book to be extremely helpful. All I have to do is to read the questions to the parents and they answer yes or no. I am able to obtain a complete history without relying on interpreters. It has chapters on the most common presenting complaints in Pediatrics. This book helps me tremendously to communicate with my patients. It is complete, easy to use and to the point. I highly recommend it to all health care providers who care for children.

Great resource to use in the rapid evaluation and treatment of Spanish speaking only patients. It is written in an easy to follow format and prompts me to ask the right questions when evaluating a patient.

Dr. Faria, a neurosurgeon who left Cuba as a child, sees events with the clarity that so often comes from having lived under tyranny. In a collection of his published essays, Faria offers a depressing look at the continuing statist re-invention of our health-care system. Readers are introduced to an impending health-care dictatorship the author describes as "corporate socialism," dominated by federal regulations and finanaced by billions of taxpayer dollars, but indifferent to the desires and welfare of the patients. The last of Faria's essays is dated July 1995. Events since then have proven him correct.

This is a great book for medical students, residents, and even attending physicians, who wish to have succinct description of key medical syndromes and their therapies. It is perfect for getting an overview; this might be all you need in a particular instance, or else the discussion in this text will provide a great framework for further, more detailed, study from one of the standard large textbooks of medicine or a journal article. I have found that my understanding of an advanced treatment of a topic is greatly improved by having a simplified overview first, and this book is unbeatable at that.If you take a weekend and read it cover-to-cover, you will find that on Monday morning, your knowledge and confidence in internal medicine is greatly improved.

After reading the book, I understand the changes in my body and can better cope, because I am not afraid of the unknown.

This book is written in an easy to understand informational style with common sense, holistic remedies. It offers the reader reasons why "your body is not acting like the body you grew up with". Most of all, it offers hope that you are not destined to suffering though a difficult transition time alone. Dr Dean is thorough and caring in her approach.

Mental status examination in neurology (cognitive tests,lobe function tests etc)is often a source of worry for trainees in
psychiatry. Traditional psychiatric text books donot address this important aspect of psychiatry and trainers (who often
themselves neglected this) add to trainees confusion.This classic book clearly addresses this problem by detailing every test and its clinical application in a simple language.Iam sure every reader would emerge confident with clear concepts after reading this book.
