I found this book through a friend and absolutely love it! I take it with me as I am rounding on patients and it helps me to anticipate questions that I will get pimped on. Questions like what are the three most common causes of anemia and what top bugs would you suspect for pneumonia?
This book is full of easy to find, applicable, accurate information that you will use daily. I just wish I would have had it for pathology and microbiology during my second year!

This is a great book, one I wish I had during my second year of medical school. It's a system-based approach to the most commons diseases and conditions of the body, listed by pathology and microbiology. This is very handy while studying for the boards and while in the hospital. I have a hard time remember the various viral and bacterial infections and this book makes it very easy. Example, my doc pimps me on the most common causes of pharyngitis/tonsillitis, I give him a glazed look and grab for my book, it's listed out nicely for me...and wha-laa, I have the answer and a differential. Plus the book fits in my white coat nicely.
Plus this book is a great way to review pathology without breaking open our 50 lb pathology textbook, I used it constantly during my internal medicine and family medicine rotations. I highly recommend this book to any med student who wants an edge up.
