4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This book provides an important contribution to the field of internal medicine and rheumatology....I think that this book is a very worthy contribution to the field of rheumatology. The authors did a very nice job of discussing the various differentials to be considered in the diagnoses of rheumatic disorders. This provides a helpful reference for clinicians in general internal medicine, as well as trainees rotating through rheumatology."--Doody's Review Service
