A pretty nice little book. Although there is a lot of good info here, the authors try to pack a lot of different kinds of info, which limits its usefulness. There is a large section on drugs -- I already have my drug reference, though. There are small sections on big diseases, but functionally, there is just not a lot of tips that give me info I don't otherwise already have at the bedside. Pretty good on internal medicine, a little lacking in the critical care.
Outstanding pocketbook for a Hospital Phyiscian March 19, 2009

I've used this handbook every day for almost a year now, and i have recommended it to my collegues. I work in a 800 bed-hospital for a population of more than a million chileans, in the internal Medicine Station and in the E.R.
A thorough job, this little book contains algorithms, differential diagnosis charts, updated scores, formulas and tips, quite everything you need to have at hand.
Noticeable is that for every table or fact stated, there is the reference in the medical literature given, so you can study it.
I love the last section, "Groovy Drugs", where you can check the recommended dosage, posology, how to build the infusion, interactions, etc. for all those 'obscure' drugs (i.e. Amiodarone, Levophed, Labetalol, and many more).
The book itself is simply built, just paper, as the next one. Take care of it and it will take care of you (haven't lost any page 'till now; wanted to say it because of the other review).
"It's not how much you know, it's how fast you can find the answer". Clever sentence. Doesn't mean we may stop studying, but it definitely helps having my Tarascon around.
Let me recommend this book to you, you won't regret it. For 33 dollars I got it in my mail in 2 weeks, in Chile (bought it again as a present).
 Falls apart within minutes. December 19, 2008

When you're paying so much for so little paper one could expect binding last at least a month. Had to glue loose pages and cover when received... Content is good as usual. Better off using Pocket Medicine instead.
