In bulleted lists, tables, and algorithms, Pocket Medicine provides key clinical information about common problems in all areas of internal medicine. The looseleaf binding resembles the familiar "pocket brain" notebook that most students and interns carry and allows users to add notes. This thoroughly updated Second Edition includes a new section on neurological problems, particularly stroke and seizures. Pocket Medicine, Second Edition is also available electronically for PDAs. See PDA listing for details. Average Rating:

You will not be disappointed. Just get it.
