Great Book:
I am a third year medical student on my family rotation. I have found this book to be very helpful for looking up things between patients and reviewing key information during downtime. I think everyone needs this little book in their pocket for quick reference and general review.
Size doesnt matter !!:
Don't get fooled by its size !! this little, compact, "fit-anywhere" pockets yet so pact w/ info. Due to its size, the print is quite difficult to read. Whenever I am in clinic where I don't know what to do, this peripheral brain gives me the confidence back !!
Mini update cram course for old codgers:
Great pocket book of relevant up-to-date information for the office. The book is sized to fit in the heel of your boot so the spies don't get it. Of course, if you're over 45 (as I am), this is a distinct disadvantage as my arms are not long enough to read it. If you don't have your glasses or a magnifying glass, you're screwed. Tarascon has proven they CAN make larger format books and they should consider doing it with this gem. They can label it "Large Print Edition". Braille might be a good idea.
Little book. Big in information.:
As a General Surgeon I have frequent contacts with patient of Primary Care and his/her Physicians. In order to speak the same language this book offers me the chance to be up to date everywhere.
