3.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty good., April 17, 2008

By	Joshua Russell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

+ Practical for residents that deal w/ Ob/gyn issues
+ comprehensive
- Appendix is not well layed out and has insufficient entries to find the topic you are looking for in a pinch
- Not really "pocket-sized"
- Overkill in terms of details for medical students and not enough background information to use as quick study guide for pimping preparation

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, September 3, 2007

By	S. Hopkins "Savannah's Mom" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book, especially for the price. It is too bad it has lost its "pocket size", but on the other hand you can actually read the font in this edition, and there are several important additions/expansions (actually it does fit in the coat pockets, it is just a little bulky). I would certainly recommend this book to anyone doing Ob/Gyn clerkships, Sub-I's or residency. Other than Up to Date and hospital-specific protocols, this is the most-used reference.
