4.0 out of 5 stars
just a bit too big,
By TGS (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clinician's Pocket Reference (LANGE Clinical Science) (Paperback)
I really have found this book useful, but it will weigh you down and hurt your aerodynamics. I liked the sections on labs and differentials as a 3rd year, and found the procedure walkthroughs to be useful as a 4th year. For residency I plan to go completely with the PDA.

Excellent but a little too big,

This review is from: Clinician's Pocket Reference (LANGE Clinical Science) (Paperback)
I found out about this book my second month as an intern. I wish I had known about it when I was a med student. It has basic review of disease processes, lab interpretation, procedures, and a drug reference. The procedure descriptions and illustrations are probably the best of any reference I have seen. The only problem is that it's a little too big to use as a pocket reference. I keep it in my on-call bag.
