Fauci is a very poor scientist. He lets his own political beliefs bias his medical opinions. As he has been in high positions in NIH this serves to greatly retard medical science and cause much suffering to disabled Americans. An example is his steadfast support of Stephen Straus in his disinformation campaign on ME (aka CFS). Fauci still includes the deceased Straus’ inaccurate article as the section on ME in this edition.
Internist Paul Cheney, MD, PhD, the world’s foremost clinican and top researcher on ME said of Straus’ findings in his most (self-)publicized study, “it’s an absolute lie.” Internist Dan Peterson, also one of the world’s foremost clinicians and researchers on ME said “Stephen Straus is a snake.” Straus was still doing grand rounds in the mid- late 90′s saying possible retroviral association with ME made no sense because retroviruses cause neurological, cognitive, immunological and endocrine pathology, which aren’t prominent features of ME. These are in fact the central, disabling features of the disease. And of course quite a few bench scientists have found retroviral involvement since 1986, most recently Dan Peterson finding 95-98% of studied ME patients with antibodies to XMRV.

I am a PA student and bought this book as part of my required texts. I thought I would use it extensively, but the truth is that this book is immense and impossible to carry around. It easily weighs 10 pounds. As far as the quality of the writing, it is good, top of the line in fact. There is practically no medical question you can ask that will not be answered in this book. But just to study and to understand the cause and treatment of disease I prefer the Current series by Lang. Anything that you really need to know is in Lang and it is considerably more portable and readable.
