5.0 out of 5 stars
Children won't seem a problem with this book,
This review is from: Current Pediatric Diagnosis & Treatment (Paperback)
Everyone recommended big fat books of pediatrics, with lots of words and little answers. But this book is all you want and need to know about in your pediatrics rotations. With diagnostic essentials, getting through diseases just gets a lot easier, and with therapeutical answers, it just builds good doctors. I specially liked the chapter on antimicrobials and vaccines, so essential in pediatric care. Definitely a must have for a good medical student with lot to learn and too little time (at the end, that's what medicine is all about). All my medschool classmates just wanted to have my book.

good for interns,
By baby bean doc "baby doc" (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Current Pediatric Diagnosis & Treatment (Current Pediatrics Diagnosis & Treatmentics) (Paperback)
This was my reference of choice when I was an intern at a busy major children's hospital. It's comprehensive, not too heavy to lug around, gives you the important details and gives you references as to where to go next for further reading. It's not always enough information when it comes to specific cases. I usually went to UpToDate, PedsinReview or lit searches at that point. I think this is a solid book to have early in your career because it lets you cover the most relevant material in a readable manner. As a second year, I don't go back to Currents as much and mostly go with articles.

An Excellent hands on manual,
By V (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CURRENT Pediatric Diagnosis & Treatment (Paperback)
This book is a great combination of up to date, accurate information in a clear and concise form. It gives you all of the details you need to make a sound diagnosis and is still easily readible. A great value and a solid buy for both in the office and the hospital.
