Ferri's Clinical Advisor 2021

"I found this an excellent reference book, covering many areas that is important to a primary care physician. The layout is short bursts of text, in easy to read chunks which makes it more comfortable for the reader to absorb the information. Because of the useful 5 separate sections lay out, there are various ways of accessing the rich vein of knowledge that this book provides." -Dr Harry Brown (Glycosmedia)
