"Il volume presente è dedicato soprattutto alla medicina interna ma si estende molto al di là di questa disciplina, affrontando anche molti problemi non-internistici che il medico incontra nella sua pratica quotidiana: dalla oculistica alla valutazione preoperatoria del malato, dalla otorinolaringoiatria fino alla psichiatria e ai problemi legati con la fine della vita. Il libro curato da Tierney, McPhee e Papadakis si propone di esporre, con uno stile stringato e in uno spazio relativamente ristretto, le nozioni oggi indispensabili per la pratica medica; esso, infatti, riporta le più recenti acquisizioni diagnostico-terapeutiche e fa largo riferimento alle linee-guida più autorevoli, mantenendo però sempre la struttura di un vero trattato nel quale le conoscenze classiche e quelle più attuali convivono insieme e si compenetrano. Infatti, le notizie più recenti e clinicamente utili, lungi dal venire esposte in una sequenza priva di connessioni razionali, sono precedute dalle nozioni teoriche che le giustificano e vengono collocate e integrate all'interno di una rete razionale di conoscenze che costituisce l'edificio concettuale della medicina." (Dalla Presentazione dell'edizione italiana).
