Book Reviews of American Medical Association Family Medical Guide, 4th Edition

Book Review: Good over all medical reference
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this AMA book to replace the 5 year Children's Medical Guide. It's a good over all reference although the new set up takes some getting used to. Medical problems/ailments are listed in body area sections, so those problems that cover more than one area are harder to find. I find myself using the index more. I really like the expanded color pictures section of skin,mouth and eye problems. It's helpful with 3 children to see what the difference between hives and chicken pox are before calling the doctor.
