Editorial Review:

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.

Great quick review for Internal Medicine:

I'm a 4rth year med student and saw all the IM residents carrying this around so I figured it might be a good idea to pick up this little gem before I did my medicine sub-I. WOW, what a god send!! This is a really neat little book that has all the most important and pertinent data for management. It has a lot of good tables and charts and is a good reference for the most common medical problems you find inpatient. It also is a good quick review supplement for USMLE CK as well!!
