Rating 4.5 An excellent book This is really an excellent textbook of Internal Medicine. Every physician should have access to it. I am disappointed I know Cecil for several years. I am using it together with Harrison for the last 20 years. I bought the 22nd edition with the web version. It looks wonderful, but.... Try and compare the chapter on hyponatremia and compare it to Harrison. Try and find Carbamazepine on the list of drugs causing hyponatremia...you cannot find it in Cecil (but it is in Harrison and in the "current"). What about amiodarone and hyperthyroidsm? It is hardly mentioned in Cecil, and well described in Harrison (and in good old "current"). So, let's wait to the new edition of Harrison. CECIL'S FLEXIBILITY IS MILES AHEAD Dedicated to health since 1927, Cecil Textbook of Medicine is like wine: the longer you indulge in it, the more captivating it becomes. This 21st edition on CD-ROM exhibits Cecil's wealth of experience in a manner that will make its contemporaries to sulk with envy. It is not just the best in terms of providing succinct information, but also in terms of contents organisation. This CD-ROM remains the 'numero uno' multimedia Textbook of Medicine if flexibility of use is your priority. The only minus this book has is that it is not as thorough (in scope) as Kelley's text is.
