Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences)
Description: This is a pocket-sized book based on Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine (McGraw-Hill, 2018), and both have been updated to their 20th editions. The authors describe this manual as a "concise, fact-rich resource for point-of-care." which it does in a most exquisite manner.
Purpose: As a point-of-care resource, this book uses a format that includes all the relevant information readers would need in a version that they can carry in their lab coat pocket for ready accessibility. The authors depend on the same outstanding contributors as those in the main textbook.
Audience: This is a book for every primary care clinician, house staff in training, and specialist who may encounter an uncommon diagnosis and wishes to have a ready reference.
Features: The manual is organized into the same sections and chapters as the main textbook, organized in the traditional organ system manner. The information in the chapters is presented in bullet format and includes relevant definitions, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment, prevention and prognosis. Appropriate tables and figures make the information easy to read and intuitive. The manual does not have the extensive references the main textbook does, consistent with a point-of-care resource.
Assessment: Harrison's has been a foundational book for decades and this format places a great deal of information in clinicians' hands at the bedside or in the outpatient office. It is an extraordinary resource in a convenient format for every clinician.
