This review is from: The Washington Manual® General Internal Medicine Subspecialty Consult (The Washington Manual® Subspecialty Consult Series) (Paperback)

The book presents common cases you see in a IM rotation, but it really lacks the broad material needed to do well in a rotation as massive as IM. I found the washington manual of medical therapeutics MUCH more useful overall as a investment. Not to mention it's cheaper as well. I'd recommend not getting this book, and instead go for the washington manual of medical therapeutics.
