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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Med. students Christmas gift.Gave this as a Christmas gift to a med. student about to go out on rotations. Greatly appreciated. All present enjoyed reading through it.

Rating:  - FONT TOO SMALLThe font is too small for me, so it makes this book too difficult to be useful. I will take a guess the font is about 4pt or 5pt. Rating:  - Cumbersome and aesthetically unpleasingThough one would think that this handbook would contain the pinnacle of organized medical information given its MGH roots, upon using it they would be sorely disappointed. One major issue with this book is the extreme amount of acronyms present. Though a legend exists explaining the acronyms, it is cumbersome to require the reader to flay to and fro when trying to decipher a statement from the book. Compounding on this problem is the minuscule font size - you'd better have 20/20 vision ... Read More Rating: - excellent - can't go wrongBe it outpatient or inpatient, this has TONS of info. You will not be disappointed. Just get it.
