- A-MUST-HAVE for medical students and residents!
- This concise manual is an outstanding addition to my white coat pocket! A life-saver on the wards, for internal medicine rotations/ residency. Well organized, outstanding synopsis of pertinent topics. It's a must-have!

- Don't Pay Money for Someone's Notebook
- Yet, another person who's taken his school notes, typed them up, and charges money for them. The print is too small. The information is often disjointed. If the editor (a loose term at that) wants to do us a favor, charge less and add a little structure.

- Perfect pocket reference
- Succinct, up-to-date, and expandable (via nifty three-ring-binder format) -- ideal for housestaff, star students, and even as a general medical reference for specialists! I think this is the best book of this type on the market.

- A wonderful "notebook" for medical students.
- I have found this book to be extremely useful during my third-year internal medicine clerkship. It's the only pocket book I carry with me on the wards.
Pros:
1) Tons of up-to-date practical information covering definitions, predisposing conditions, clinical manifestations, physical exam, diagnostic studies, treatment, etc.
2) Well-organized charts and tables balanced by information in outline format.
3) Ring binder and extra space on each page lend themselves to taking notes within the book.
Con:
Tiny font size.
