Customer Reviews

Everything you ever wanted to know about Thyroid.

Braverman's grand work is almost the standard against which all other thyroid texts are compared. While not as comprehensive as the 6th edition, the eighth edition manages to cover the essentials of Thyroidology today. While some of the authors still seem to subscribe to the false god of TSH, instead of taking a good history and using good clinical acumen; this work does cover the state of Thyroidology as it exists today. Definitely an excellent reference for anyone working in the field, and a good place to begin a better understanding of the Thyroid.
