Product Description
This book is a primary review tool to prepare students for both the internal medicine clerkship and the end-rotation NBME shelf examination. This logical alternative to several limited-focus books blends a bullet-outline format students prefer in a review book with comprehensive paragraphs, as needed, for optimal preparation. Illustrations, charts, tables, graphs, mnemonics, and "Quick Hits" pearls for the clerkship speed and supplement learning. Ample content without superfluous detail enables students to readily evaluate and expand their knowledge of cardiology, pulmonary medicine, gastroenterology, hematology, neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, genitourinary disorders, fluids and electrolytes, dermatology, and musculoskeletal problems. A new section in this Second Edition presents 100 USMLE-style clinical vignette-based questions with answers. A color insert contains over thirty full-color images. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and color photographs. |

Great Book! by MedStudentStar  4 Stars
October 25, 2009
This book is an essential for every third year medical student. It covers a broad range of topics and discusses them in a way that's relevant and to-the-point. In your 3rd and 4th years, it's important to start developing your assessment and plan; this book will tell you what standard protocols are and what labs/tests/imaging to use. Great book!

A great book for internal medicine by Z. Huang (Chicago, IL)  5 Stars
October 24, 2009
Just finish reading the book the 1st time.
It is a great book for the following:
1.the bullet format for easy reading and memorization.
2.high-yield margin notes and clinical based box, flow-charts in every chapter.
3.covers almost all topics in internal medicine and it has pathophysiology, MCC,clinical features and step by step management of the patient.
4.potential clinical oriented vignettes inside the content when reading.
5.good dermatology pictures, also some x-ray, CT, pharm notes, physical exam notes etc. inside the book.
Ok, the book still has little blemish.
1. some info. are missing such as there is no separate oncology chapter inside the book. So nothing about breast cancer. ( maybe should be in GYN? ) no prophyria in dermo.
2. some disease features are written too simple. no Nikolsky's sign in pemphigus?
Overall, this is a very high yield and well written review book for internal medicine shelf and usmle step 2.

Don't bother by M. Furlan (Ljubljana, Slovenia)  1 Stars
October 18, 2009
I was in time crunch studying for my exam and i chose to buy the book because of good reviews. Was i wrong! I found it hard to read, it's just too bulleted for my taste, some diseases are just mentioned and other are described in detail, the book is intended for US students with no mention of its unsuitability for international students- only non-SI units are used which is a major faux pas for a medical book and there are some typos which should not have occured.
I also didn't like the organization of the book; for instance when i studied pulmonary system i didn't find chapters on pneumonia or TB in it, but then i found that pneumonia is covered at the end of the book in chapter on infectious diseases. Okay, maybe it makes sense, but i want everything pertinent to pulmonary system to be in one place and so on for other organ systems. And while on the subject of pneumonia;there is a large table in the book describing the PSI but not a word on a much simpler diagnostic tool of CURB-65. All-in-all it was a waste of money and time. I switched to better organized book from the Crash course series UK edition General Medicine. Better written, concise but with form, SI-units. The only good thing of the step up are the quick hits and that's it.

Good book by MedHealer (SF, CA, USA) 4 Stars
July 30, 2009
I just started using this text for my 3rd year rotations. I have found it very helpful. It gives the big picture outline of each topic. It's a good place to start before you dive into the details. Also good for review.
