Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
DIVPrepared by residents and attending physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital, this pocket-sized looseleaf is one of the best-selling references for medical students, interns, and residents on the wards and candidates reviewing for internal medicine board exams. In bulleted lists, tables, and algorithms, Pocket Medicine provides key clinical information about common problems in cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, hematology-oncology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, rheumatology, and neurology. The six-ring binder resembles the familiar "pocket brain" notebook that most students and interns carry and allows users to add notes. This Third Edition is fully updated, has tabs to help readers locate organ systems, and has more cross-referencing in the index. It also has pockets in the front and the back of the book to accommodate the reader's own notes./DIV

Great tool for Medicine students or residents January 7, 2009
I bought this book when i started my residency in the summer of 2007 only because everybody else did, without knowing what it is or how it could be of any help. br /It proved though a valuable assistant when i didn't have have immediate access to Uptodate. It actually saved my day in some Program Director rounds when i sneaked behind another colleauge and found the right answer including the reference - guideline in this book... br / It has a lot of evidence based diagnostic and treatment options including very frequently the specific reference - article -guideline which makes your life much easier - you go online and read it 3 hours later, when your patient is feeling better. br / Of course my 2007 edition is not the most updated version but yearly updated versions come out and i think a 2009 edition is coming out soonbr /Its drawbacks include the fact that it does not cover rare diseases/cases you might encounter, and it is not the best of references if you need very specific info on subspecialty topics. For these cases you will need something like the Washington Manual Subspecialty seriesbr / It is better than the Washington Manual in that it can fit in your labcoat pocket, but it is including much less details and number of topics.br /Overall it is a useful tool for residents/students in Medicine Wards for quick - NOT in depth reference

Great reference for any pharmacy or medical student December 12, 2008
This book is a great reference for any medical student or pharmacy student. I purchased this book for clerkship, as the medical students were always looking at it. Every common disease state is in there, as well as diagnostic criteria such as the Duke or Wells criteria. It also has a place where medical abbreviations are located which are handy when reading notes. It has a nice medication section for the ICUs, antibiotic, and other medications. I love this book!

Reliable information when you need it November 17, 2008
Very good book to keep close at hand. Valuable information when you need it. Not to detailed but this is what I like. Hits the stuff you need to know in a hurry. You can always go back for more details in our texts.
