I was so excited to receive this book due to the other reviews; however, I've been disappointed. Some treatments and management of disease are somewhat covered; others...not so much. While reading through the chapters, I often become frustrated due to the lack of information. Perhaps the authors are just avoiding a lot of changes in future volumes due to frequent changes in standards of care, which I understand, but it still should be part of the book. Several of my fellow classmates have been frustrated for the exact same reasons I've described. I need a book that will give me much better treatment guidelines, standards of care, and management tools. This one falls short of my needs.

Works for me, works against me. Keeps the info brief, but has no pics to reinforce the material. Great for psych, horrible for derm.
