Medicine Books

I put comments on the "Amazon Books Blog" which you get to off the Books Home Page, but I thought I'd put them here too.
When my wife become seriously ill one of the most frustrating things was communicating with the doctors. I didn't...

This book has some important points to make, but it's written in a somewhat superficial tone, and the focus is on diagnostic biases, not really on how doctors think about actual diagnoses and treatment. If you're looking to learn about that...

Anyone whose own state of health or the state of health of someone who they care for requires more than occasional or limited interaction with the medical-industrial establishment should read this book.

Not because it any breaks new...

I would never have thought to come to this site for these books until a friend mentioned it. I was totally surprised to find these brand new books available here. The price was a little bit lower than other sites, but the shipping price couldn't be

This book is excellent. It gives you a week by account of what to expect. It is a true comprehensive guide. It even has section that covers special topics like preexixting conditions such as diabetes, not just pregnancy induced diabetes. Has a fabulo

I highly recommend this book to my clients. It takes one through the twelve step program without blaming subtances.I have found in my many years of reading that disfunctions are only a symptom. When looking at the back of the book , one can look...

It's good to keep an open mind when reading this book. As Ms. Hay delves into the spiritual so born again's may not appreciate it. Lot's of good info, if you can get past some of her beliefs that you may not share.

Still in all, it seems to be...

Just a word of warning before you buy this book, it is extremely pro-breastfeeding and might make moms of bottlefed infants feel guilty. I wasn't aware that the authors favored the family bed approach either, which I disagree with. I almost felt I...

Overall it's a good common sense guide to parents. I learnt about baby slings from this book and now I'm really enjoying my Maya Wrap Sling-Bright Stripes. However, this book is very biased toward stay home mothers, and certainly not very...

I just finished reading this book cover to cover. The only time I set it down was to wipe away the tears from side-splitting laughter. The chapter on "sneak attack" poos and the "hanging chad" poos made me burst into laughter so hard that...

I had heard this book was amusing and informative, but I found it lacking in both. I can't recommend this book for anything. Don't waste your money.

I think it was a good idea. I expected more information about health and got a little disappointed. Anyway, it is a good bathroom reading.

Elaine Petrone is my teacher. I had the privilege of taking classes with her over the course of many years. If you can't take personal classes with her, then her book is the next best thing. Her book and her work derive from her personal...

The ball exercises are helpful, but they are only one part of the total package.If you suffer from any kind of back pain you need more than just these to overcome and get stonger. If you have never tried ball exercises this is not bad. There are...

I bought this to help with my going back, hip, shoulder issues. They are ok for pain control. The book that comes with it is too small to hold and read. Basically the balls are for use on trigger points. I use them to help with knees while I do...

This book is by far the best I have read on low-tech fertility methods. Not only does it explain in simple terms the various natural signals of the cycle, but it includes numerous discussions of what charts that are a little less than...

I hoped this book would help me get pregnant, after more than a year of trying, but there was almost nothing in it that I didn't already know. Sometimes there's just no fertility to take charge of, I guess. I find it kind of scary that so many...

It has a lot of good information but nothing that I think you couldn't find on the 'net or just common knowledge. I have been trying to get pregnant for 18 months and I pretty much knew all that she went over in her book. I was disapointed...

The study of mental disorders is an ever evolving process. It is good to see a revision of the old DSM IV which has been in use for the past five years. The book is printed in a easy to read print size and the layout has been updated. There...

I quote Karl Menninger, on the publication of the DSM-II in 1968:
"This year [1968] the APA took a great step backward when it abandoned the principles used in the simple useful nosology [DSM-I]. In the interest of uniformity, in the interest...

Although DSM-IV is the bible of psychiatric diagnosis it's validity as a party game should not be overlooked. With a group of people gathered round you can almost certainly categorise any one of them with numerous mental disorders that should...

I'm a 6th year medical student and I was looking for a book that could give me a quick, easy, yet complete method of evaluating laboratory exams right on the spot. With this book I got that and much, much more. Right from the book's size and...
