3 books on disease symptoms and treatments

you could also get these books on ebay or amazon or a half price book store. (last two are very similar)..
1.Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
2.Handbook of Diseases (Lippencott)
3.Professional Guide to Diseases (Springhouse)

http://www.cystic-l.com is an on-line support group with an international membership. You can join for free and ask this question and you will get many answers. In fact, this will spark quite an interesting discussion.

We have been in the middle of a similar discussion comparing the US to Canada (sort of) and you would be able to find that in the archives once you join.
