| Merck Manuals Introductie | meer literatuur |
Merck Manual refereert aan een serie, in boekvorm en online, medische en wetenschappelijke naslagwerken voor artsen, patiënten en geïnteresseerde leken.
De uitgaven worden door Merck, een groot farmaceutisch bedrijf
(buiten de US en Canada 'MSD' genaamd, wiki)
zonder winstoogmerk gemaakt en de online versies worden gratis beschikbaar gesteld.
De boeken en de online versies worden onafhankelijk van Merck ontwikkeld door comités van artsen en andere deskundigen, waardoor onafhankelijkheid gegarandeerd is.
Bovendien worden, zoals in ieder medisch handboek, in de tekst enkel generieke namen voor medicijnen gebruikt en nooit merknamen.
De Merck Manuals staan in de medische wereld ook bekend als relatief goedkoop vergeleken met soortgelijke werken zoals:
Davidson. Principles and Practice of Medicine,
Harrison's Manual of Medicine,
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine.
N.B. Bladeren en lezen in boeken is prettiger dan op websites, maar boeken hebben het nadeel dat het nieuws van vandaag morgen alweer achterhaald kan zijn. Een boek loopt dus vaak achter de actualiteit aan. De websites van de Merck Manuals hebben dat nadeel niet. Artikelen daarin worden regelmatig geupdate. In die websites zijn dus altijd de laatste ontwikkelingen en meningen te lezen.
