A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Over the past twenty years, more and more copies of THE MERCK MANUAL, one of the most widely used sources of medical information in the world, were being purchased by people who were not healthcare professionals, despite the fact that it had never been advertised and was not written for public use. Recognising the public's increasing need for access to the same medical information doctors have, Merck have responded with the HOME EDITION. This contains virtually all the information in the physician's version, but in easy-to-understand, everyday language, with a reader-friendly format. It presents in-depth information on symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options for every possible medical problem, including heart disease, cancer, accidents and injuries, infections, and nutrition issues. This is a comprehensive, generously illustrated and up-to-date guide from Merck - a world leader in breakthrough medical discoveries.
