Product description
Prepared 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.

« What a book »
Oh lord, Great book. Not only it covers alot of topics with alot of details, but also it gives you data taken from the most recent up to date articles and studies, Then they mention the study for your referrence. I think every resident should carry one.

« Perfectly condense »
If you ever need a quick review with just enough detail, this is the pocket book for you. I love this book. Perfect pocket size, and perfect information. Perfectly condensed version without missing or skipping so much you can't follow it.

« Solid Gold! »
I cannot deny that this book fills a great need in internal medicine, where evidence based medicine is the current trend. For an advanced 3rd year medical student, 4th year medical student and interns alike, this book is solid gold. Get ready to begin practicing evidence based medicine the second you pick this book up. The most common ailments encountered by a house officer are listed with pretty much everything that you would need to know from A-Z to treat the disease or keep it under control until a specialty service is consulted. It is filled with references and one line key pointers to update you on current research. This book elegantly bullet points the crux of medicine that every true doctor, regardless of their field, should know. Keep in mind, however, that this book doesn't cover everything. It is meant as a starting point and will do an excellent job at that. It doesn't make you a specialist, but I feel confident that I could cover all the basic problems that are encountered in the hospital with this in my pocket. On a side note, I think that this book is too advanced for a beginning third year. They are still trying to find out what different acronyms mean, and it would be overly frustrating to have them read through this book that is littered with them. I might suggest reading a page or two out of this book and if you aren't comfortable understanding what you read, them try another source first until you feel better about this one.

« Great quick review for Internal Medicine »
I'm a 4rth year med student and saw all the IM residents carrying this around so I figured it might be a good idea to pick up this little gem before I did my medicine sub-I. WOW, what a god send!! This is a really neat little book that has all the most important and pertinent data for management. It has a lot of good tables and charts and is a good reference for the most common medical problems you find inpatient. It also is a good quick review supplement for USMLE CK as well!!
