Awesome As a third year medical student, this is an awesome book!! Helps with seeing patients in the ED, who present w/ a broad variety of complaints and going through the differential and asking the right questions, diagnostic tests, and management. I will be using this well into my intern year! | ||
perfect quick reference This book is part of the reason why I love Amazon. I ended up buying just because I liked what the reviewers had said about it in the past and I ended up loving it! It is a quick, focused reference that made the 3rd year IM rotation much easier. It has the essential differential diagnoses/treatment points for a wide variety of diseases. It is not a complete reference (it is pocket sized...) but it has enough to make you look smart in front of your residents ( I don't know about your residents, but mine loved to ask me "my plan" the moment I sat down to gather my thoughts, so I quickly learned to read the relevant section the moment I stepped out of the room). | ||
Way better than Sabatine's!!! I tried to use Pocket Medicine by Sabatine during 3rd and 4th year of medical school b/c that is what everyone else had in their white coat pocket. I found it useful in a pinch, but also really hard to actually "read" b/c everything is abbreviated. My brain just doesn't enjoy having to decode every sentence I read... it stops absorbing information. On the other hand, I picked up Ferri's Practical Guide for the start of intern year and I have been pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's a bit bigger in size, but you can actually pick it up and read it and LEARN STUFF! I still love UpToDate, but with the amount of information an intern/med student needs to know... it's pretty freaking hard to read each and every single article relevant to all the topics you are interested in. On the other hand, you can browse through a topic in Ferri's in just minutes, and you will pick up the most pertinent info because it is concise and organized well. Try refreshing your memory on lupus when you are on call at 4 AM by reading UpToDate... it's painful and not high yield at times like those! | ||
Super book 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. | ||
A Must for Internship's reading Am 3rd year resident and told my interns to get this book since it helped me to this point. This along with Pocket Medicine and Stanford Internal medicine "red book" should be the must have on wards. | ||
