    美国医学会(AMA)宣布一种全新的医学全书上市,患者及其家属可以获益并在医疗中理解与配合治疗。

    该书共1408页,按A至Z编辑健康指南,堪称为21世纪第一部大部头医学百科全书。包括最新健康信息,比如非典型性肺炎(SARS)及生物恐怖主义。

    据称,美国医学会完成的医学全书覆盖更多的医学名词,疾病,药物,治疗以及处理等信息,内容比任何家庭指南都 要丰富。读者可参考本书监测治疗现状并尽量独立于医生及到医院诊治。

    “这本书对于病人来说是一种巨大的资源,特别是有孩子的家庭。病人在家里便可获得实用的医疗信息”,AMA当选主席John C. Nelson说,“AMA医学全书一册在手,比网上搜寻更为实用。后者信息不可靠且查询不方便。”。

    "This book is a tremendous resource for patients, especially families with children, who can use the encyclopedia at home for practical medical information," said AMA President-Elect John C. Nelson, M.D., M.P.H. "Having the AMA Complete Medical Encyclopedia close at hand can be much more useful than searching online, where health-related information can be unreliable and cumbersome."

    The encyclopedia has more than 5,000 entries, 1,750 illustrations, and hundreds of helpful charts and graphs. In addition, the book includes wellness articles that contain information on exercise and nutrition. Readers can also refer to 29 symptom charts to help determine the possible causes of many common ailments and suggest a course of action or medical intervention.
