Preface

With this 29th edition, the Manual of Medical Therapeutics has a new name, but we doubt that anyone will notice. It is now The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics, in recognition of its com-

monly used moniker “the Washington Manual.” Since its inception by the Department of Medicine at Washington University in 1943, the Washington Manual has been designed to be a portable reference to medical therapeutics. The Washington Manual is not a comprehensive text of internal medicine; material on pathophysiology and differential diagnosis is necessarily limited. Instead, the manual is designed to present a current, rational, and established approach to the diagnosis and treatment of common medical problems.

Although originally aimed at medicine house officers, its use as a reference for a broad range of problems has led to its adoption by medical students, practicing internists, and specialists in other fields. Recognized throughout the world for its authoritative content, the manual is perennially a medical bestseller.

The authors are mostly junior faculty at Washington University–physicians who can still recall what is practical in the middle of the night. As with previous editions, the text has undergone extensive review by the Department of Medicine, including valuable input from the internal medicine housestaff at BarnesJewish Hospital. All of the material in this edition has been extensively revised to ensure that it is consistent with current medical practice. In addition, a new

chapter on allergy and immunology has been added. The material on medical emergencies has again been placed in a separate chapter to facilitate rapid access to critical material.

We are very grateful for the assistance of the pharmacy staff at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, especially that of Robyn Schaiff, whose contributions have been invaluable to many prior editions and who now serves formally as Associate Editor for Pharmacotherapeutics. W e are also grateful for the editorial assistance provided by Katie Sharp and Elizabeth Willingham. The staff of Lippincott-Raven, new publishers of The Washington Manual of Medical Thera- peutics , has been a pleasure to work with. We would like to thank Alison Whelan, an editor of the 27th edition of the manual, for her guidance and support.

We have the pleasure of serving as chief residents for the Wood-Moore, Kipnis-Daughaday, and KarlFlance firms of the Department of Internal Medicine at W ashington University , under the guidance of our firm chiefs Daniel Goodenberger, William Clutter, and Gerald Medoff, as well as Gustav Schonfeld, Chairman of Medicine.

Most especially we would like to thank Kathy, EunMi, and Gabrielle, our wives, for putting up with us.
