While thinking of what's missing in the book, it suddenly comes to my mind that many medical textbook would have a certain disclaimer on the front page. It should be something like this:
Medical knowledge is constantly changing. The editors and the publisher have taken care to ensure that the information given in this text is accurate and up to date. However, readers are strongly advised to confirm that the information, especially with regard to drug usage and dosage, complies with the latest legislation and standards of practice.
Alas, this very statement is again missing in our textbook.
In fact, I believe an additional disclaimer should have been added to our one:
The editors and the publisher do not guarantee coverage of all important topics of internal medicine. Readers are strongly advised to confirm the scope of knowledge required for real life medical practice as well as public examination.
PS. It is exactly for considerations of this kind I am all against a black-and-white syllabus of a medical school.
The more rules, the more omissions.
