A must-have for primary care doctors, especially those still in training. I am currently a third year family medicine resident, at the time of my writing this review. I use this book at least weekly, if not more often, to read up on new procedures or refresh on old ones. I can see myself using this consistently in the future.

There's no way I can finish this one, but I use it regularly, and will probably always have a copy for the rest of my life. Very helpful.
