5.0 out of 5 stars Super book, February 6, 2009

By	C. Harper "C. Harper" (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An an internal medicine doc, I highly recommend this book. It fits in a lab coat pocket and is jam packed with helpful information. Everything is in an "outline" format so that wordiness is not an issue and you can get right to what you want to know/review quickly. This book got me through medical school and residency... and I still refer to it today. It also works as a great boards review book that is highly portable. I use it for when I don't want to lug around the bulky, heavy boards review books.

One of my Attendings, who also is a good friend, told me - if I don't buy this book . . . he would beat me up!

Needless to say . . . I bought it . . . Now I know why . . .

The crime . . I never had this book sooner.

SO GOOD!
