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 Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, which is revised and updated every three to four years. Although HPIM represents 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 HPIM available 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 HPIM into this pocket-sized Companion Handbook which residents and students can carry through inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services of a teaching hospital. The Companion Handbook contains brief summaries of the key features of the 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 glossary listing the abbreviations used throughout the book.

NOTE: In this User’s Manual, the Glossary can be found on pages 32-34.

Preface

It is important to emphasize that the Companion Handbook should not and cannot be a replacement for a textbook of internal medicine. Rather it is an extension of the Thirteenth Edition of HPIM. The Companion Handbook is meant to be used when the house officer or student requires a brief introduction to or reminder of some aspect of clinical medicine but does not have immediate access to or the time to consult HPIM. Since the amount of material presented is too brief to stand on its own, it is recommended that the relevant subjects in a standard textbook be consulted as soon as time permits. Thus, we consider the two books, HPIM and the Companion Handbook, a single educational package.
