This is a book that my family practice residency uses for diadactic readings. I have found it to be well written and organized for primary care adult medicine. It is very up to date on latest research and gives recommendations at the end of the chapter with evidence based recommendations. It can at times be a bit wordy, but overall very good. A couple down sides are there are no pediatric topics discussed and Goroll does not include any mentioning of osteopathic manipulation, even though there is some significant efficacy studies involving osteopathic manipulation. Overall a good text.Now in its Sixth Edition, this comprehensive text provides pertinent information on medical diagnosis, therapy, lab tests, and health maintenance essential to decision making in primary care medicine.

I like to read Harrison's now and then, but it is so genetics and research heavy that I get bored. This book is excellent because it comes from a practical perspective (i.e. for the busy clinician vs. the academic) and it breaks down problems by symptoms. A sample chapter is "The patient with dizziness". When I see patients with relatively common things that I want to refresh on, I pull out this book. Sometimes it doesn't have the detail I want, but that's what I have Harrison's for and the web. It is DEFINITELY worth the 90 bucks or so it costs to have in the library.
Summary: The Best!
Rating: 5
Over 200 of the most commonly encountered chief complaints in family medicine! This is the book! It's contributors are outstanding educators and clinicians from the school of medicine Harvard. Practical, no-nonsense straight to point case management -- it is like having a team of brilliant family physicians to consultant on every aspect of your daily practice. I am a PA and I think this should be on every practitioner's book shelf in family medicine.
Summary: An exelent book .I'm waiting for the next edition
Rating: 5
It is a pleasure to find a medical book that took into consideration the practical aspects of a primary physician in his clinic.
I'd like to suggest to incorporate into the next edition more visual items (cXR, CT, MRI dermatological, etc.) as it says that one picture worth a thousand words
