Liver Issues - Buy This Book May 13, 2009
Charles M. Labow (Miami, Florida USA)
I was diagnosed as needing a liver transplant in late 2007. Luckily, I live in the same city as Dr. Eugene Schiff, and with the assistance of several doctor friends, was able to get a consultation with Dr. Schiff, who confirmed the diagnosis.
Dr. Schiff is considered by most gastroenterologists to be the world's authority on diseases of the liver and his book is the standard textbook for liver specialists all over the world. (I know a couple of med students who hate this book because the two volumes are heavy and they have to carry them around all day.) It's heavy because it is extremely comprehensive. If something can go wrong with a human liver, it is covered in these books. And, the information is current. Dr. Schiff, while primarily teaching, still sees patients several days a week and the books are revised annually.
Unless you are a doctor or medical student, this book is not an "easy read". It is a textbook filled with a lot of technical terms, but it is written so that a person of average intelligence with the help of a good medical dictionary or the internet, can work through information about your condition that you are experiencing or that your doctor may have told you but that you didn't fully understand.
Schiff's Diseases of the Liver is a must have for anyone facing liver illness or transplant. It will help you to understand why your organ failed as well as what to expect during treatment and pre and post operation situations.
