This is a broad-spectrum panologic overview of human diseases, barely scratching each of their pathogenic surfaces seemingly written for medical receptionists and coders. That's not to say I found the use of this textbook for my class unrewarding; I did as I became better acquainted with the diseases a medical practitioner must know. However, one should not expect to get her hands dirty from digging through this work.

I read it. I read all of it. My brain is filled with the terrible knowledge that all of natures most terrifying disorders, diseases and hereditary whatnot start with flu-like symptoms.

Low depth information on very common conditions.
