Editorial Reviews

Review
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 09-APR-08, Volume 299, Issue 14, Daniel G. Federman, MD and Eric H. Chanko, MD, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT --

"It is chaos in the office. At 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon you are 30 minutes behind schedule, and you know that after your last patient you will have letters to dictate, preauthorizations to obtain, and patients to call....To compound matters, you are unsure about what to do with the patient in examination room 1—the slightly anemic patient who complains of difficulty sleeping. You vaguely recall that restless legs may be associated with both iron deficiency and insomnia.

"It is familiar times like these in which The 5-Minute Clinical Consult 2008, edited by Frank Domino, proves invaluable. The 16th edition of this popular text is a quick and easy-to-use reference that addresses many of the conditions that confront the general medical practitioner, from common conditions such as diaper dermatitis, hypercholesterolemia, hot flashes, and essential hypertension to the rare fragile X, Zollinger-Ellison, and Williams syndromes....

"There are several useful features of this book that distinguish it from several other classic textbooks of medicine. For example, for those desiring specific coding information, International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes are provided, as is information beneficial in patient teaching. This includes not only general measures but contact information, such as Web addresses and telephone numbers of several foundations, societies, and support groups.

"Another advantageous feature of this book is the accompanying CD-ROM that further supplements the text. For example, the CD-ROM contains photographic images of several dermatologic conditions, such as acne, rosacea, several causes of alopecia, and cutaneous malignancy. Furthermore, these images, from the second edition of Goodheart's Photoguide of Common Skin Disorders: Diagnosis and Management, can also be easily uploaded for those desiring to give lectures. The CD-ROM allows the user to view 19 videos of medical procedures and examination techniques. These demonstrate knee and shoulder examinations, as well as injection techniques of the knee and shoulder....

"An additional worthy feature of the CD-ROM is the 178 English and 178 Spanish patient handouts from the American Academy of Family Physicians. These are well-written, concise informational pieces that can be customized and printed regarding subjects as diverse as directives concerning dry skin to the termination of a pregnancy....

"We strongly recommend this book for the busy practicing clinician seeking basic management information presented in an easy-to-use text format. The accompanying CD-ROM offers additional highly useful information for patients as well as practitioners."—Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
