[Noah Edelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very good book, but mostly as a reference. True to its name, this text is very light on theory and goes through major diseases & drugs in a systematic way. I was hoping for more theory.

Mostly bought it to get Corey's autograph. Definitely informative and detailed nonetheless.
