Only if you're going into Peds... by Seejay (Earth, superficially)

First and foremost: If you're not going into Peds, Blueprints or Kaplan with Pretest should be enough. Don't bother with this text as it's probably not what you're looking for. I bought this (although I had no intention of going into Peds) because I needed a little more explanation than the review books give, and I was glad I bought it. It does have a lot of tables, but I found them to be a useful way to distinguish between similar entities. While on my Peds rotation, the residents always referred to the big Nelson's when they had tough questions. If you want to make a good impression on your attendings and/or residents because you're going into Peds (or you're just a gunner) then Essentials is the way to go. Here's the conundrum: learn the material that will make you a competent doctor or learn the material that'll make you pass the Peds exam? Unfortunately in Peds, the two are not the same. Peds exams are filled with things like vaccination schedules which change yearly and word association like Meckel's rule of 2s, and thumb sign. Actual practice of pediatrics requires an actual thought process... which is explained best by Essentials.
