Every time I open this book, I keep praising the authors for their art. It looks impossible to cram so much information in such a little space. It contains information that sometimes you can't find in textbooks. I bought it for my ICU rotation, but since then I have been carrying it in my labcoat all the time.

This is a nice, small, handy book to have for internal medicine rotations and residency. It doesn't have everything that you may desire, but it still has a great deal, including major studies published backing up different drugs important in internal med care. It is very small to have so much information, so it is a really nice book to carry.

Perfect for interns just starting residencies and good till the end of their second year atleast for quick review, calculations, etc.

this little book is packed with tons of info, formulas, facts, lists, reminders, all to make your internal medicine life a little bit easier. its worth the money to have this thing around. everyone should have one. thank you to all the neurons that put this thing together!!!!!

Overall, I think this is on of the top 3 resources I would use on the wards. It's concise, acurate and best of all, very portable. Diagrams are simple, but get the point across. I would highly recommend this little book to all medical students and residents.

This book has a lot of great tips and 'cheat' sheets to use in the clinical setting, it has great calculation guides, and is compact to fit in your pocket without making you feel like you're carting around a library in your lab coat.

When i bought it i could never have immagined, that there could have been a so small book, to provide so much detail in everyday (and not only) practice in IM. It has tremendous material including treatment and decisions to be taken in very few pages and very small format. It can fit anywhere in my lab coat, in a pocket or even in my wallet! I think it is an incredible book for what it was made and has earned its place in my pocket throwing out every bigger competitor...

Full of much useful information, and it fits right in your pocket. A must have for any medicine resident, regardless of whether you're in the ICU or not.

Small size makes it great. I carry a palm and still leave this in my pocket for quick reference. I had been carrying the 2nd edition since medical school. The 4th has a good deal of new information, at least in the sections I've referenced so far. Definitely worth it's weight.

Occupies a little space for the volume of information it gives.
Very helpful for an ICU resident
