Reading this with my dental residents. I'm not an internal medicine doctor, but I feel like I'm on the way after reading chapters on diabetes, thyroid disease, cardio vascular disease, hypertension, and adrenal insufficiency.

4 stars..occasionally puts me to sleep. But does provide a strong background when considering risk assessment. Wish it had more relevant information as to what modifications should be made as a hospital dentist.
