5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, April 20, 2003

By	"hskermdic" (Topeka, KS USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maxwell Quick Medical Reference (Spiral-bound)

The most used book in my coat pocket. It didn't matter what rotation I was on this book is always in my coat pocket and is frequently used.

I also found this book to be pretty durable. I carried the same book in my pocket every day of my 3rd and 4th year of medical school and it is still holding up great through a lot of tough use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for M3 year!, November 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Maxwell Quick Medical Reference (Spiral-bound)

If you buy one book to keep in your white coat, make it this one. For a small book that will easily fit into any pocket, it contains guidelines for writing admission, discharge, and other notes commonly encountered on medicine, surgery, and ob-gyn rotations. It also includes commonly used formulas and cheat sheets for H&Ps and the neuro and the minimental status exam.
A great deal for a book that you're likely to use through the rest of your medical training!

5.0 out of 5 stars A no brainer, must have for medical students and residents, August 19, 2006

By	Concerned One "Thrashfan" (Clarinda, IA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I picked this book up prior to day one of clinicals in medical school. Now 5 years later in residency I still refer to it on a regular basis. This is color coordinated and easy to follow sections on conversions, common normal lab values, progress notes, discharge summaries, H&P's, OP notes, Mini Mental Status exams, and neuro exams plus many more tidbits. I picked this up for 7 dollars at my bookstore, saved me many times at 2am on call. Get this, it will help you on all services. A gold standard of easy reference.
