Preface
Most students of medicine are overwhelmed by the
sheer quantity of medical information potentially
applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The editors and authors summarize this vast
amount of information in
Internal Medicine
every three to four years. Although
a distillate of the broad field of internal medicine,
along with it is deep roots in the basic sciences, the
total information presented in the book grows steadily, as does the base of useful medical knowledge.
While it would be ideal to have a copy of
able at all times, the sheer bulk and weight of the
book make this impractical. The editors, with the aid
of selected contributors, have condensed the clinical
portions of

diagnosis and treatment of the principal diseases
that are likely to be encountered on a medical service. The inside cover (front and back) contain a
