- I have used this book for a very long time.
- I used it as a third year medical student, as an intern, as a resident, and now as chief resident and faculty. Its a quick reference, has all the information you need and easy to keep with you. I highly recommend this book for the wards

- Pocket medicine book
- Enormously useful information in a very condensed format. Great to have in your pocket as you bumble your way through intern year with only dim memories of hyponatremia lectures.

- Excellent Concise Reference for Bedside
- For the medical student or intern, this book cannot be beat. It has all the essential information you will need on the spot while rounding, on-call, etc. It is by no means an in depth resource. But that it not what you need. When you have time (which will not be often), you can seek more detailed information from larger books like Harrisons or Cecils. I strongly reccommend this book. It will not be as useful to the more advanced physician, but will let the intern shine with on the spot info.

- Pocket medicine
- The book took forever to arive. If your a med student and you need this for the wards don't get it here unless you want it to come half way through the next rotation.

- GREAT book for medicine 3rd and 4th years
- This book covers all the major topics, goes through a basic differential and work up. It's great for admitting patients on the wards. I use it constantly, and am just sad that I didn't buy it until 4th year! I'm sure it will serve me well during internal medicine residency also.
