For a pocket (large) manual, quite detailed summaries of diagnosis and therapy of the disorders most likely to be seen in practices in general internal medicine and family practice. In addition to the generally designated medical problems, it covers ophthalmologic, otolaryngologic, gynecologic, neurologic, psychiatric, and minor surgical problems.
