Rating: - Healthy LivingWe purchased the Mayo Clinic Eeference guide to serve as a family medical book. We are very pleased with the descriptions and information about comon medical issues. I highly recommend this book for individuals who want more information about common and not so common medical difficulties. Rating: - Great Book!This is a book no household should be without. Very informative and helpfull. The index is great and the information is to the point... Excellent photos and drawings. Only drawback: a bit bulky! Rating: - Mayo Clinic - Family Health BookThe Mayo Family Health book is a "wealth of information." My husband recently became ill and was hospitalized. We were able to pinpoint symptoms in the book which helped us along with our health provider get appropriate testing and treatment for his condition. With healthcare today, we must be "informed consumers". I have worked nearly 35 years in clinical laboratory medicine and I still learn something new everyday....this book certainly helps.
