5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book, not much different from previous edition, October 2, 2003
By Gene Lee (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great book for what it's intended for- this is a handbook that only provides the essentials; nothing this size can be as all-encompassing as a complete textbook of medicine or UpToDate, so don't buy it with those expectations in mind. Covers facts on a surprisingly large number of diseases, ones often overlooked in many other handbooks such as Ferri's Guide, Washington Manual, or Pocket Medicine (the latter doesn't even mention anything on stroke management).

Of note, the new (4th) edition is no different from the 3rd edition with the exception of a few review questions tacked on the end, so if you have the older version, there's no need to upgrade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Step 1 book, July 19, 2005
By Jerry L. Chastain (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wish I would have used this book prior to taking Step 1. This review book has many of the nit-picky details that I saw on my USMLE. I would recommend this book for those who have not taken Step 1 and I would also recommend the clinical boards and wards book for your clinical rotations. Good luck on your exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, May 14, 2006
By Traderjohn (Glendale, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This book and Secrets are great condensed multi-subject reviews. When you get tired of reading FirstAid, Step-up and the subject-based review books (e.g. BRS Phys), this book is a great supplement. If you can find time for this kind of studying, you'll enjoy this small, condensed book.

I'm also looking forward to using it on rotations starting this summer.
