Bailey's 3rd edition (2001)

[HEENTdude]

Should I buy the 3rd edition for cheap (<100 dollars) or just spend the money and buy the newest edition (4th)? The 3rd edition is 2001?

I know usually there aren't that many differences between editions but seeing as how this will be my reference for the coming years, I want to make sure what I'm learning and applying to my patients is sound medical knowledge.

Yes to getting the latest edition.

I would advise to get whichever text is used by your program in didactics.

Agreed on both counts

Definitely don't buy the 3rd edition. The 5th edition is available for pre order now. You can have access to my new chapter then

But really, a text from 2001 will be based off research from the 1990s. I feel like a lot happened in the 2000s.

Having completely redone my senior partner's chapter in Bailey's, I can tell you that the last 3 versions were exactly the same. This has happened with more than him. Therefore, I can assure you that many of the chapters are probably unaltered from version to version. Having said that, the latest version probably has better pictures.

The editors look at which chapters need updating based on what new data is out there. Textbooks are always 3-4 yrs behind the times, anyway. But if you want to be able to get information on the scope of relevant topics as of ~ 2010, I'd get the new version.

Our program gave us the fourth ed., and I used it a lot throughout residency. Looking back I think it would have been a good buy.
