 Great Medical Text November 11, 2008

We are using this book and CMDT adn McCance Pathophysiology. I like this text for easy to understand explanations of the different disorders. CMDT does a better job of explaining labs and treatments and has a consistent organization, but can be heavy reading for trying to figure out what are the presenting s/sy of the disease. They are both good companion texts.
Why did I buy Harrison's? August 30, 2008
Seejay (Earth, superficially)
I get a hernia when I pick up Harrison's. I've used it twice this year. As a graduating senior, I collected all of my upperclassmen's suggestions of books. Cecil's has a bit more info than I'd like, but it's a readable length if you're not a procrastinator like me! Medwhiz's review is spot on.
Cecil's is extremely well written, and easily understood. It stresses only those topics that graduating seniors absolutely have to have a clue about by graduation, and it doesn't waste too much paper. It's not a pocketbook, but at about half the physical size of Harrison's, it's not easy to carry around, either.
If I had to buy only one book out of Harrison's, Cecil's, NMS, and Blueprints, I'd get Cecil's. It's well worth the money.
 good book for those who learn from text February 13, 2008

I wouldn't recommend this book for people who love photos and graphs. Although it does have some great summative charts, it's pretty wordy. It's great if you only have power points to learn from, though, as it helps fill in lots of missing explanations/details.

Good summary without being brief. Like a middle ground between review book and the much more boring Harrison's. Gets all the high points, the moderate points and even the pertinent details.
A Great Book for Medical Students September 17, 2007
Medwhiz (Baltimore MD)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
For medical students, it doesn't get better than this. Cecil's Essentials, is in my opinion, in a similar caliber of books such as PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE (Stobo et al), and DAVIDSON'S. Granted, this book lacks the detail and in-depth clinical pointers that some of the other heavier textbooks carry, but nonetheless, rivals all those books in its succint reviews of each condition, touching most importantly on the pertinent pathophysiology. A hearty recommendation for most 2nd or 3rd year medical students.
