I saw a fellow nurse's copy of Porter's and was impressed with the size, easy to read layout and ease of finding information. Needless to say the version I saw was an older edition. What I got was a chunky "pocket book" that is difficult to read and as previously stated has an incorrect EKG. As far as fitting in a pocket, no way, this looks like a preschooler's chunky cardboard book. This is too bad as the older edition that made me want this book was excellent. Definitly getting a refund.

I have used porter's pocket guides for several years. It is a great resouce. I highly recommend it for anyone who works in an ER or critical care setting.

This emergency and critical care pocket guide is loaded with good reference material in a hurry! Recommended for ER and ICU nurses.

Received everything i was suppose to get,in excellent condition. Very interesting and up to date. Love itand would recommand it

love this book..2nd one i bought because mine "disappeared" from work..Im an er nurse it is an easy reference for your crit care drips..just wish they would publish a new edition still only available from 2008 edition

This is item is literally useless. If you are looking for some general information then it might be a good idea. Personally, I am disappointed.

I've used Porter's Pocket Guide for years, buying and updating with each sucessive edition.
So sorry to see what the new owners have done to this book. The physical binding is bulky and it gets caught in everything. The eye chart is impossible to see.One of the EKG examples is wrong, I could go on and on, but I've lost my list of approx 10 things. After spending $$$ on the book order(and the new Pediatric book) I have made myself try to use them, but I've kept my most recent old edition in case I get frustrated. After years of never going to work without my trusty E.R. bible, I'm very dissapointed.
I'd like to have the company contact me.

this book was recommended to me and i love it!!! really fast and easy to find the info needed especially if your a new grad or an old nurse like me.
