Product Description
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 all areas of internal medicine. The looseleaf binding resembles the familiar pocket brain notebook that most students and interns carry and allows users to add notes. This thoroughly updated Second Edition includes a new section on neurological problems, particularly stroke and seizures.

 Great resource
This is a great pocket resource for both medical students and residents. The pages now have titles across each page and sections are broken down into individual subjects as compared to the previous (blue) version.

Must have for medical students ( jmmed )
Although the expectations for medical students are not that of residents and interns, this book is very helpful. Evidence-based medicine is the term heard over and over on the wards and this pocket book will help with that. When presenting a patient, you may be asked which study showed the effectiveness of which treatment. This book has it. It is updated with references as recent as 2007 which is impressive. It will also save time when preparing a talk because as mentioned, the landmark studies are all incorporated in the text. Worth upgrading from the 2nd edition.

An internship MUST
This pocket-sized manual is a MUST for all medical interns (and residents). It is SO much more useful for review than Washington Manual and is written in a very readable manner. Strongly recommended.
