Lawrence Tierney Books

It is VERY nice book. Especially for medical students and residents.
You can understand from detail to basic of diseases. With this book, you know how to approach and make your list of differential diagnosis.
I worked for infectious disease patients for a while, and this book was very useful because you can get the general knowledge not only about infectious diseases but also general internal medicine, skin lesions, bone diseases, and so on. I especially recommend the chart of antibiotics(Chart 37). I like this book because we can also get the update etiology of diseases. So nice.

This book packs in all the important aspects of client treatment into each section. The headings are a little hard to see when skimming, but the information is excellent. A must have for Nurse Practitioner school!

Very concise, covering a large number of conditions with information about clinical features, diagnosis and treatment... just the best medical book for students, residents and general prationers.

Everyone has a few books they constantly refer to in their library. This is one of mine. The whole CURRENT series is excellent & I update every new issue as soon as it is available. Ideal reference with clear concise text & pictures throughout the book

It is a very good and useful book. It has everything you'd want in it plus more. It includes the signs and syptoms, what you can do to treat the problem, etc. I just wish that it had pictures in it so you could have more to go off of.

I love this book. It is so very comparable to the merck manual. It covers every topic beautifully and concisely including all the pertinent things you would need to know for any disease or pathology. I find myself always refering back to it when reviewing material or needing a refresher on certain topics. It is a bulky book so it is not a good book to carry around with you, but as a desk reference its a must have.

Seriously, don't consider anything else. I used this for my write ups and notes third year, and did really well. I always got complimented on the information I covered in my notes. I LOVE this book.

Excellent product, suitable for daily use. Easy to study and updated. Just the headline says it all: Current!!!
Amazon's shipping was EXCELLENT!!! I recieved the product earlier than what i was waiting (from USA to Greece), in excellent package and in optimal conditions. And it costed less than what i would have payed if i had bought the book in Greece (shipping included!!!)
Lookin' forward to my next order!!!!!

When you have absolutely no time to look anything up in between patients... this is the book to look up. Concise, useful, user-friendly.

As a Nurse Practitioner student I find this book quick, easy to read, and invaluable when researching how to treat different conditions. It is a keeper!

I used UpToDate before I bought this book. UpToDate costs $195 per year if you are a student. This book costs under $60. If you don't need a large amount of detail, you can get away with using this book instead of UpToDate. You will save money (especially if you are a poor student) without sacrificing much quality. Buy the book new so you can get the online access. I bought the book and went straight to the online access and gave the book to one of my friends. It's definitely worth it since you don't want to lug around a book this big. The book has excellent content and has good internal med coverage. Some of the specialties are a little weak (UpToDate has the same problem), but this book was meant for the generalist. The images in the online version are very informative.

This book provids most updated information in such area as htn dx, tumor screen and immunization recommendation. I can find 95% of materials that I need. You can not get Pap smear guidline though, which is also primary medical care.

Absolutely essential. Excellent coverage of topics. Easy to use format. A can't live without it book. I use it daily.

I am currently a second year PA student. This has been an amazing help on my rotations, all of them. I recommended it several of my classmates; they also love it. We have a test at the end of each rotation, and this is a perfect way to review. Just the facts without much fluff. It is also a handy reference in the clinic.

Reading this book makes one feel "updated and great". It stands out prominently amongst the other standard voluminous texts in Medicine and a notable feature is that it is brought out every year. A student of Medicine and a Physician ought to have this manual in their desks for day to day reference. This book also helps immensely in the last minute revision prior to examinations.Evidence based medicine, Updates and Clinical trials are part and parcel of this friendly manual.As a Professor of Medicine , I feel that topics not essential to Internal Medicine may be left out in the subsequent editions to make the book lighter.I recommend this text for all postgraduates in Internal Medicine and students wishing to undertake MD , MRCP or AB course in Internal Medicine.

As a military medical provider that moves all the time, I have to be discriminate about what amount of books I carry with me. This book, along with Habif's Dermatology, is always on the top of the packing list. From ENT complaints to infectious diseases, this book is an excellent reference. It is easy to read, regularly updated, and comprehensive.

I was a chief resident at one of the top internal medicine programs and widely recommended this book to both students and residents. This is a clear, concise and up to date text on the fundamentals of internal medicine.

I am a first year PA student. I find Current a much better reference than Cecils Textbook of Medicine. It has quick easy to read sections on many diseases. The disease passages are well labelled with a few "Essentials of Diagnosis" at the top. Then the passage describes etiology, signs and symptoms, laboratory findings and treatment. Overall, a great reference.

This is a quick and easy way to review information. It's not the complete info about a disease, but it's a nice refresher.

This book and its content is very helpful at home and for medical students with very little difference from the 2002 edition

As a medical student, intern and now a resident I have found this test to be the best reference for my daily work. The listings are so comprehensive enough to provide a great general practical day to reference. They are up to date and thus provide a adjunct to bedside treatment especially on those lonely call nights when its just the house staff in the hospital. I often will refer medical students to it as a refereance. I find that the reviews are oriented from a practial point of view as well as being concise enough to give a good, quick but through, overview.

.......... This book is the best book for 2nd and 3rd year students who are interacting with patients for the first time. the hardest part about taking a history is knowing what questions to ask. this book TELLS YOU. It's organized by system and by Chief complaint, each section includes a well thought out DDx, and a list of questions you should ask and what it mean if the patient says yes. it also tells you what physical signs to look for and what lab tests to order. Your presentations and H&Ps will through and you will understand why you ask all those silly questions in the first place.

THE CURRENT MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT IS GREAT
REPEATS YOU ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND, VERY WELL ORGANIZED THE CAPTERS BY SYSTEMS
ALL YOU NEED FOR THE ENARM IN MEXICO

This book is definitely a great resource to have on hand. It covers almost everything you would need on practically every topic and then some. Its a great book to have as a reference or study guide. Although some of the information may be TMI, it covers all the pertinents and is relatively inexpensive to other medical books out in the market. I would definitely say this book, or any of its other editions is a must have. It is clearly written and easy to understand.

Current medicine is one of the best medicine books to keep on your self. It has all the info you need plus those little tid bits that make good test questions. I used it to study for my borads and swear they used this book for the questions. Otherwise its a great reference too.

I'm a PA-C and and have used hundreds of books. I LOVE THIS BOOK! It is very complete and easy to use without being overwelming like Harrison's. It is an absolute must for any mid-level provider.
Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment is Awesome. There is also a Current Surgery and Current Emergency Medicine that both SUCK.

I am a physician, now retired, and have used, and use, this book for years. I get a new update every two years. IMHO it gives a great review and complete synopsis of many many medical problems. It is paperback. There are no photos, nor graphics. It is well written and well organized. The layout on the pages (using blue titles) makes it easy to read and follow. I highly recommend it.
