An earlier edition is included in the Brandon/Hill list of medical books for the small medical library. The ninth edition presents a new approach, where the formerly free-standing science chapters have now been presented as clinically oriented chapters and a greater focus on evidence-based medicine has been applied throughout. Each of the 59 chapters is written by specialists, almost all of whom practice and teach in the US. All the chapters are either new or have been revised. Among the chapter titles are fetal monitoring, multiple gestation, diabetes mellitus and pregnancy, amenorrhea, androgen excess disorders, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, incontinence, leiomyomata, disorders of the breast, and medical ethics.
