Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine

Book Description:

Well over two million medical students, doctors, and other health professionals around the globe have owned a copy of Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine since it was first published over 70 years ago. Now in its 24th Edition, this thoroughly updated textbook describes the pathophysiology and clinical features of the most frequently encountered conditions in the primary specialties of adult medicine and explains how to recognize, investigate, diagnose, and manage them. Taking its origins from Sir Stanley Davidson’s much-admired lecture notes, Davidson’s has endured because it keeps pace with how modern medicine is taught and provides a wealth of trusted information in an easy-to-read, concise, and beautifully illustrated format.
