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.

Excellent book for a quick review and update on salient points regarding most important medical issues. Also contains references from the source journal articles so you can read them for yourself if necessary. Bottom line: I would recommend this to my friends and buy it again.

This is an excellent pocket book for differential diagnosis in a hospital setting. I am in my last years of medicine and I wanted to purchase a book that could remind me just the essentials on symptoms, signs, diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis and basic principles of therapy. It satisfied all those needs. It also puts references where is needed. This book lacks medication doses and in order to interpret it you have to have a basic understanding in the theme you are consulting, it is not for a first read in the subject.

Great reference by Kylee D. Jones
