It’s seldom a good sign when a content provider chooses to repurpose existing material instead of developing NEW material, but this is what we seem to have with the Merck Manual of Patient Symptoms. The book proudly boasts that it “enables users to quickly find information they need to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients,” which only raises the question of what all the OTHER versions of the Merck Manual are supposed to do. To be fair, the long-in-the-tooth, resting-on-its-laurels Merck Manuals are probably in NEED of a makeover–but this ain’t it. What we’re left with is a book Short on innovation and quality that is likely to take the fast Lane to the bargain bins at your local bookstore.
