|Internal Medicine: Handbook for Clinicians (RESIDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE SERIES)
This is a pocket quick-reference for internal medicine and family practice residents, students, and clinicians. It contains over 150 tables, flowcharts, and figures.
Very handy, concise supplement to Ferri’s Guide,
This handbook is a perfect complement to Washington Manual and Ferri’s Guide. It probably could not, and should not, be used as a stand-alone guide but as a peripheral brain it is just small enough, light enough and packed with enough information about the more common conditions to be considered as yet another weight to add to your coat pocket.
It has some strong chapters, such as Infectious Disease and Cardiology but hardly anything on Oncology and Endocrinology. In the effort to contain topics to 1 or 2 pages, the authors obviously could not pack as much information as one would want, but then that’s what textbooks and PDAs are for.
Overall, very useful during rounds and when on house officer call.

|Must Have!,
As a health care professional (not a medical student or resident), I found this book extremely informative. The information is current in dealing with today’s primary care issues. The book’s format is easy to access. Information is organized and concise. It provides a quick look at guidelines for clinical care. I would recommend this reference book for anyone who is dealing with general medicine.
