all the major disorders. Each chapter includes non-drug therapy,
drug therapy, and consumer evidence-based summaries.

of the acclaimed series BMJ Evidence-based medicine textbooks that
have revolutionised clinical medicine literature, comes with a
fully searchable CD-ROM of the whole text. The text is kept up to
