It is ashamed Dr Humes does not plan to deliver a new edition of this book. There is not other medicine textbook with "Approach to the patient with..." which is very educational and practical. Thank you very much for this lovely and amazing book. It is my favorite by far.

KELLEYS IS A TEXTBOOK FOR THE PRACTICING PHYSICIAN. FAMILY PRACTITIONERS AND HOSPITALISTS BENEFIT MOST. PERHAPS THE NAME SHOULD BE CHANGED TO INTERNAL MEDICINE FOR FAMILY PRACTITIONERS AND HOSPITALISTS.I WOULD APPEAL TO OTHER PUBLISHERS TO BRING OUT A NEW EDITION OF THIS MOST EXELLENT AND HELPFUL TEXT.

An Acclaimed Classic !

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2001

Kelley's Textbook of Internal Medicine, now in its 4th edition continues to uphold the highest standards of excellence and is an acclaimed classic world-wide. It is unique among other medical books in that as a stand-alone one-volume reference guide, no other provides such an encyclopaedic breadth of coverage and utility in clinical practice. The founding editor, William N. Kelley has succeeded admirably in compiling a superior and formidable state-of-the-art medical reference which contains several written contributions from leading medical specialists and is a powerful teaching tool for both medical undergraduates and qualified practitioners. The text is compartmentalised into 11 major sections, each corresponding to the main branches of medicine. These include an opening part on Principles of Medical Practice which is followed by sections on Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Oncology and Haematology, Rheumatological, Allergic, and Dermatological Diseases, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism and Genetics, Neurology and finally Geriatrics. Each section is then further subdivided into chapters which discuss the procedural aspects of how to approach a patient with a common presenting complaint from tests to final diagnosis, a focus on the main disorders of each particular system, as well as an in-depth analysis of the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities pertaining to specific disease entities. In light of the growing importance of evidence-based medicine, a major new addition to the 4th edition is a series of "clinical decision guides". These are based on various gradations of scientific evidence which propel evidence-based medicine into the front-line of decision-making when considering the formulation of guidelines relating to differential diagnosis and management protocols for major problems. Also worthy of special mention is the inclusion of an extremely useful Rapid Access Guide which is alphabetically indexed by organ system and located at the beginning of the text. This allows fast and easy retrieval of the most important facts regarding common specific diseases or syndromes. In summary, at over 3000 pages long, Kelley's Textbook of Internal Medicine is a truly inspirational achievement and must surely rank amongst the most thoroughly comprehensive and authoritative medical textbooks currently available. Certainly, I can think of no book which encompasses such scope and captures the changing face of medicine today.

The most practical textbook in internal medicine

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2006

I have been using this book for many years. No new edition will ever come out. Dr. Humes, the chief editor, of this textbook in the reply to my email by one of his coworkers, he stated that " Dr. David Humes asked that I respond for him to your email of 5/8. He regrets to report that Kelley Textbook publisher, Lippincott Williams & WIlkins, is no longer publishing General Medicine textbooks and that he is unaware of any plans to publish a new edition of the Textbook. Dr. Humes appreciates, however, your kind and favorable comments regarding the Textbook.."

So no more new edition of Kelley's textbook of internal medicine in the market. What a great disppointment!!!!

KELLEY'S IS THE CURRENT PACESETTER

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2002

Although relatively new in the game, (when compared to veterans like the Cecil's and the Harrison's), Kelley's Textbook of Internal Medicine is in a class of its own. This 3,200 pages of sound medical gospel is an all-round platinum winner.
It is a pacesetter in outlook: covering all branches of medicine in a veridicous way that is worthy of emulation.
If the current pace established by the 4th edition is sustained in the future, Kelley's will completely douse competition from both the Cecil's and the Harrison's texts.
It is hard to find flaws in this book; and I believe that many people would like to see what its CD-ROM version will look like.

This is an amazing book for physichians in internal medicine. The book gives you an ability to get to the proplem and to solve it. Not only that the text is very easy for undersdending, but the algoritms for the workup of medical problem give you skills to make your's desicion to be better. The book also focus on problem -orriented approach without discussing debates and controversions and this is very good for the residents in internal medicine. Reeding the book is like to follow triller becouse it keeps you in the chair.

Excellent reference text for practicing docs

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2002

An excellent reference text for the practicing primary care physicians. Concise, gives necessary info without a lot of minuta.Great bargain for the price. I trained using Cecil's and I feel this is as good for less money.
