Customer Reviews: Incomplete No mention of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis aka CFS/CFIDS). ME is a common (1M+ in US) and extremely debilitating NeuroEndocrine Immune Disease.
Helpful If you're to own a pocket handbook, this one and the peripheral nerve book are the ones to have handy. It's high yield information when you just need to look up a quick thing when you're seeing a patient.
Mass Gen Neuro This is an excellent pocket resource for student neurologists. Outline format is succinct, clearly written and tables/treatment algorithms are very helpful. Some other, more lengthy, text would be a better resource for learning about disease topics at length, but this is excellent for formulating a DDx and treatment plan while on the wards.
Excellent First, a disclosure. I know and respect Dr. Flaherty.
I agree completely with the prior reviewers. This book aims at being an accessible, authoritative reference for trainees. It definitely achieves and even surpasses those aims. It is useful for non-neurologists as well.
