you will get more out of this book if you are a foreign grad who got recently accepted for a an internship spot as it gives a clear insight of how to spend your first year with minimal losses.. !!
do not count on it to be a reference for your wards..

Internship year could be summarized in 2 words: lost & clueless. This book is good for those nights when there's no one else around to ask and you don't know what to do. It is easy to read, concise, and it has very useful full-color flashcards of the most common procedures that you might encounter, such as endotracheal intubation, etc.

Main theme of the book is how to organize your thoughts and be efficient in time management.......nice to read before starting your internship

40 bucks is a lot to pay for a tiny little book. covers common ward emergencies and problems. i guess that was nice to know as a med student not knowing what is going on, but i think once you get the hang the common stuff, you wont be going back to look up how to work up chest pain or what to do for a pt who is constipated.
