From the reviews:
“This book summarizes the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common endocrine diseases. … It is written for practitioners, both internists and subspecialists in endocrinology, but it is also useful for medical students to review during a rotation in internal medicine or endocrinology. … It is succinct and can be used as a brief reference for managing patients in the clinic.” (Colleen Flynn, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2014)
