This book is an amazing little fountain of knowledge to have at your fingertips during clerkship year. I only discovered the Little Black Book series as a fourth year med student, and I so wish I had known about them earlier. They would have saved me a lot of time and made coming up with differentials, workup, etc. MUCH easier. The book starts out with presenting GI symptoms, then goes through each part of the GI system: esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, etc. -- detailing every conceivable problem in an extremely clear, consise way. For each disease you get the cause, epidemiolgy, pathophysiology, symptoms, course, complications, DIFFERENTIAL (this is key!!!), lab & radiographic findings, workup, and treatment. Complete with references. The whole book is so well-written and easy to use. I can't say enough good things about it. Best of all - IT FITS IN YOUR WHITE COAT POCKET. It is perfect to just carry with you and read when you're standing around doing nothing in the hospital -- or peek into quickly just before rounds when you have to present a patient and need some fast help. This book has it all -- thanks, Dr. Hay! The whole series is a cut above the whole slew of review books out there. These are different -- it's like having the exact information from Up-to-Date that you need in your pocket. Well worth every cent.
