I like the book. However, in looking for a replacement for the book Im currently using (Kumar & Clark), I do not find it an improvement per se

THis book is absolutely brilliant! rather than focusing on divisions by system health care uses, the starting point is the symptom or patients' complaint. From there, it is very comprehensive.
