Medicine type
Good question. Here’s what is generally not included in Harrison’s Internal Medicine:
Oral and facial complex details: (Teeth, gums, jaw bones, temporomandibular joint, oral mucosa diseases in detail.)
Detailed dermatology: (Only systemic manifestations of skin disease are briefly covered. Not detailed clinical dermatology.)
Surgical techniques and operative details: (No detailed general surgery, orthopedic surgery, ENT surgery, neurosurgery, etc.)
Obstetrics and Gynecology: (Very minimal — only when systemic illnesses overlap with pregnancy.)
Pediatrics: (Childhood-specific diseases are not emphasized; it focuses mostly on adults.)
Psychiatry in depth: (Only medical aspects like delirium, dementia, depression in illness are discussed — no full psychiatric management.)
Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Endodontics: (Complete dental specialities are missing.)
Ophthalmology detailed treatments: (Only systemic disease impact on the eyes is discussed; pure eye diseases are not detailed.)
ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat): (Except if it relates to systemic disease like Wegener’s granulomatosis.)
Anatomy, Physiology, Histology basics: (Presumed already known — only clinical application.)
