A must have for quick reference!:
Love it. Use it all the time for quick reference!
Nice reference chart with Peds dosing for common meds in the front.
Very handy:
I'm a novice practitioner who has found this very useful in practice. Many times I come across patients who are taking medications that I am just not that familiar with yet. I am able to look up dosing, availability and whether or not a generic is available very easily. I keep this reference in my shirt pocket at all times.
every doc/med students must have:
This you just MUST have and we all know it. For FUN, look up, in the first few pages --'abbreviations'. You will see that K stands for excreted thru the kidneys, L for liver excretion and L and O= liver and onions. Just love that. some years have it and some don't, but I just love to ASK med students/residents what L and O excretion IS and watch the FUN. Have fun. BUY it. You need all this handy in a pocket or desk version and the price is right!
Quick and accurate:
Classic shirt pocket book. Easy to access and has the basic info needed for the busy clinician.
