User Reviews
Review from previous edition: “Over the past 3 weeks, it has had pride of place on my office table, usually with one or other volume open at a key page. ‘Cor’, is the typical response of colleagues entering the room, ‘Got a new textbook I see’. At L275 and with metallic sheen on the cover as
standard, this is the intellectual equivalent of a Jaguar coupe and inspires similar levels of envy.”
–Family Practice, August 2003
“It is an invaluable source of information, well written by experts in their respective fields. It will be the first reference source I choose when questions arise as I continue to practice medicine.”
–Doody’s Journal, October 2003
“Can we have a broader view of ourselves again as gatekeepers of the health of populations? This is an issue that is intelligently addressed. The coverage of the global burden of disease, preventive medical strategies, health policy, and costing are new and welcome additions. I found these
sections to be especially thought-provoking and believe that they are valuable reading for all budding medical graduates, teachers, and researchers.”
–The Lancet, June 2003
- The chapter on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (“chronic fatigue syndrome”) is very inaccurate. Instead of boring you, I will just point out one salient fact which is emblematic of Prof. Michael Sharpe’s approach: the chapter is included in the psychiatric chapter when it has been proven over and over again to be an internal medicine disease, especially neurological and immunological.The editors should know better than to allow Prof. Sharpe to write the chapter since his writings on ME are well-known in the field to have been discredited innumerable times.
It may seem harsh to give the whole book only two stars since in the main it is a solid work and certainly comprehensive. I certainly think that is a really good point. However, I have decided to give it two stars since the type of blatant misrepresentation that is included here has caused a tremendous amount of iatrogenic morbidity and even some mortality in ME patients.
I am very eager to give the book five-stars, because in most other respects, it really deserves it. I have learned a lot from it. Please substitute an accurate chapter on ME and I would be delighted to give it five-stars and evangelize for Oxford’s. The essential documents on ME (with more than enough information to fill a chapter here) are:– the 2003 Canadian ME/CFS Consensus Criteria
– the 2010 validated research version of the above CCC by Prof. Leonard Jason
– the 2011 International ME Criteria
– the 2012 International Association of CFS/ME Primer for Physicians on ME/CFS
Unfortunately does not allow me to insert hyperlinks for the above.
Please contact me if you wish further information or if you wish to find an author who will draft an accurate chapter for you free of charge. Thank you.
