4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy, concise supplement to Ferri's Guide, January 27, 2005

This review is from: Internal Medicine: Handbook for Clinicians (RESIDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE SERIES) (Paperback)

This handbook is a perfect complement to Washington Manual and Ferri's Guide. It probably could not, and should not, be used as a stand-alone guide but as a peripheral brain it is just small enough, light enough and packed with enough information about the more common conditions to be considered as yet another weight to add to your coat pocket.

It has some strong chapters, such as Infectious Disease and Cardiology but hardly anything on Oncology and Endocrinology. In the effort to contain topics to 1 or 2 pages, the authors obviously could not pack as much information as one would want, but then that's what textbooks and PDAs are for.

Overall, very useful during rounds and when on house officer call.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Have!, September 21, 2000

This review is from: Internal Medicine: Handbook for Clinicians (RESIDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE SERIES) (Paperback)

As a health care professional (not a medical student or resident), I found this book extremely informative. The information is current in dealing with today's primary care issues. The book's format is easy to access. Information is organized and concise. It provides a quick look at guidelines for clinical care. I would recommend this reference book for anyone who is dealing with general medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars An MGH medical resident's perspective, March 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Internal Medicine: Handbook for Clinicians (RESIDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE SERIES) (Paperback)

This book is now literally the only book (besides my Palm Pilot) I carry on the wards. It has an amazing wealth of information from ECG criteria for the diagnosis of wide complex tachycardia, to Coumadin dosing algorithms, to guidelines for thyroid nodule evaluations. All guidelines/recomendations are extensively refrenced to the primary literature. Ounce for ounce, the best and most comprehensive medical handbook!
