You have been warned...Better options outhere
When I bought this book I was looking for the most updated and complete Internal Medicine book available to use as a base for my training (to check 1 or 2 chapters a day besides my daily clinical duties). And it is probably is at this time. I had the opportunity to read some chapters from the previous edition and I liked the style and I thought it was easy reading. So when the new edition came, I gave it all my confidence.
So far, the clinical information is as expected for this type of books. It is a good general resource. It won't help you to resolve the day to day clinical questions and scenarios for particular patients. However for someone looking to have a good base of IM I would say it is enough.
The major drawbacks of this book is probably its editorial policies. The quality of the paper is still very cheap for the price. The enhanced online edition is the same as the cheaper edition, but just with the supposed benefit of getting updates. What is more irritating is that I invested more money expecting full usability with a supposed enhanced online features and I am having the same inconvenient that using the free access through MDconsult in my campus. If you enjoy printing 1 or 2 chapters for reading and if you try to avoid carrying the heavy weight paper book, await for the new Harrison or go for the ACP medicine. Both of them have a simpler tools for printing chapters with just 1 click (ACP medicine even allow you to print in PDF format). I have a hard time printing chapters, cause you have to print almost page by page, and often you will see how the online format of this book will make you use 1 page for a single paragraph or even 1-2 lines. What a waste of time and paper!
This book might be a good clinical resource but there are a lot of other options out there that give you more for your money. That's the beauty of the competence!
If you ask me if I will buy other cecils edition or elsevier product, I would say: no, nor in my worst nightmares! I just don't trust them anymore. I wish I had more information available about the features of the online version. I would have saved my money and my time.


Still the Very Best!
I had some expenditures "of the Cecil of text book of medicine" over many years. They remain, for the learning experiences wonderful of us, that like still books more than a formations. This present expenditure seems carefully now, a very attractive text book with repeated colors drawn up, and even the pressure can be a little, which is larger in this new one. I think the fact that general internal medicine covering extremely well-being organized and is rather complete (this expert first-class expenditure has the on-line version in addition, so then one has it all)! I think that it is still for busy practical man in all forms from Primaerobacht to to strike book, as well as medical class participants.
