Great service I received my order in good time in exactly the condition described by the seller. | ||
Not a Handbook The size of this book alone makes it so that it does not qualify for the title of "Handbook." It is a great book, and covers almost everything you need to know. It goes into the anatomy and physiology of an ailment, and then goes into what is happening and so on. Then it discusses pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic ways to treat the ailment. It is sectioned by body systems, such as respiratory ailments, which contain chapters on specific ailments. Sometimes it goes into too much detail, but overall it gives you a great understanding of the ailment and the options for self treatment. | ||
