Complete Guide to Symptoms and Then Some.......2007-05-14
This book is wonderful. I had the 4th edition and used it for years so I was already familar with the format of it. The new one includes a DVD which is even better. This book is easy enough to understand so that even people with minimal medical knowledge can still find the information they need. I like the way it is formatted so that once you do find the illness, you can find the surgery with the approx. care, medications, etc. that you can expect to go with it plus they also cross refrence any difference type of procedures that might be used. With patients having to be so much more informed these days, I take this book with me every time I go to the doctor.My former Dr. didn't like it but my new does and discusses anything thing I have questions about and shows me where to find it in the book. I also have the pill book put out by the same group.

Customer Reviews:
Comprehensive yet understandable.......2004-09-25
This is an incredibly helpful book that can be read cover to cover or used from time to time as a reference. It is written in "regular" language without compromising the information and without being too pedantic or condescending. The book remains technical where necessary. The addition of people's stories personalizes each topic and provides a point of reference for comparing your own symptoms. Pictures of celebreties who have experienced problems with their thyroid gives you a sense of "belonging" and let's you know that you aren't the only one with this problem, which can be very comforting. Finally, all proceeds of the sale of the book are donated to the American Thyroid Association for research & education.
A Great Reference Book.......2004-09-12
This book is well-written. It is simple to understand, yet packed with useful information. I refer to this book whenever I have a question regarding my thyroid health. My endocrinologist refers to this book as well. I give this book to woman with health questions, so that they may consider their next medical option.
It could be my thyroid!!.......2004-02-18
I was given the double opportunity to read the book and meet the author. I met Dr. Rubenfeld at a Houston conference. He took the time to write a book that can answer many questions. It is written in such a way that you do not need a medical degree or background to understand it. The narrative is laced with illustrations and celebrity "thyroid newsmakers" stories. A comprehensive glossary is provided for those medical terms lay people may not understand. Patient profiles bring a personal touch from those who have lived it.
now I understand.......2004-01-15
When I thought that something was wrong with my thyroid, I checked every medical site I could find. Some sites were clearer than others and some were more comprehensive than others. I started asking friends if they knew of anyone with thyroid problems, and almost everyone I spoke to in Houston mentioned Dr. Rubenfeld. A friend gave me his book and I realized that it was clearer and more comprehensive than any of the sites I reviewed. It also lists stories of people after each chapter that really brought home the information. Because each person will experience diffent symptoms, it was easy for me to identify with each person's story and how they approached their treatment. It was easy to read (layman terms!) and I could read the chapters that pertained to me. I would recommend it for someone who does their homework.
Best answer to all my questions--comprehensive.......2004-01-05
If you have a thyroid problem or even suspect you have one, this easy-to-understand book by a leading MD tells you just what you need to know. It is a wonderful resource, packed with useful information. I got it as a gift -- and it is priceless. What a welcome and very necessary addition to my bookself. I am giving a copy to my doctor.

Best Pediatric Text Ever Written.......2006-01-14
I am a Registered Nurse with 30 years experience. This is hands down the best pediatric medical text book for the lay person ever written. It is well organized, informative, and as pertinent today as the day it was written. A must have for any parent, grandparent, day care provider, or child care giver. If you have a child of any age in your home you need this book!
Not just for kids !.......1998-11-01
We love this book but this guide is mistitled. The detail and helpfulness in this book provides insight into ailments for all ages. Great resource!

Good Easy-to-Understand Guide of Symptoms.......2005-12-23
This book includes a brief synopsis on symptoms, illnesses and surgeries (each category in it's own section). It is a really good resource book for general info for the layperson. In the "Symptoms" section, the page is laid out in a table. You'll get a list of symptoms, possible problem and what to do. In the "Illness" section there are definitions, explanations, symptoms, causes, how it's diagnosed, treatments, medications, complications and other tips. The "Surgeries" section includes general info, risks of the surgery, avg length of hospital stay and what the probable outcome may be. This section also addresses postoperative care and when you should call your doctor.
Overall, a good book with some of the more commonly treated conditions and symptoms.

A family library "must have"!.......1999-09-03
I purchased my first copy of this book back in the mid 80's. I'm now working on replacing my 2nd copy because it no longer has the cover and is VERY well used between myself and my children. It's saved many an unnecessary trip to the doctor and also ensured good communication for the times we did need to see the doctor.
People think I'm a genius because of this book........1999-04-04
I once had a housekeeper who was sick for several months. Finally I made her sit down and tell me her symptoms. I consulted this book and couldn't tell from her symptoms what she had -- but I knew it was either gallstones, a bleeding ulcer, or pancreatitis. I made her leave my house and go to the doctor. A week later, she called me from the hospital. Her gallbladder had been removed, her bleeding ulcer had been repaired, and she was under treatment for pancreatitis. Every time I use this book, the results blow me away. I've had to stop telling doctors what rare disease I have because the opthamologist was so irate when I diagnosed my iritis before he did.
Easy to read and informative........1999-03-30
The book is organized. It is easy to find what you are looking for. It is a book that you will use frequently. This is my second copy and I have purchased one for a family member.
An excellent source of immediate information for everyone.......1998-11-05
This book is a must for anyone that is at all curious about health-related problems. I drag this book out at least once a week to look up information for myself as well as others that are asking me about symptoms or illnesses. I have bought copies as gifts for other people, as well.
