Harrison's Manual of Medicine

Harrison's Manual of Medicine is an excellent medical resource for those questions that need quick, consise answers. The chapters for Harrison's Principles of Internal medicine are neatly summarized into quick-reading two or three page summaries, with many helpful charts and management tips. Depth and underlying pathophysiology is not well covered, but that's what the big book (Principles) is for. This internal medicine book can be helpful for medical students to review medicine before exams or rotations. However, Harrison's Manual of Medicine new edition is much better than previous ones. At least it has more algorithms. Also, stay away from PDA version. It is even more stripped down! The only complaint from some medical books corner customers, the medical book is about 5"x8", which doesn't fit into coat pocket. The companion to the 14th edition (4"x6") is virtually identical in information, and fits in pocket.

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition

G. Rana just got this book about a month ago because some of his friends that started and are in residency said that he should be able to read ekg's when he walk in on day one of internship. So, G. Rana use to use those other ekg books in the past but this one, from their recommendation and now his reading, is truly the best. He can not believe he did not read this in his student years. It is very simple and gives you the foundation of understanding the ekg from bottom up. read it like you never read any other book and it will open your mind up to knowing exactly where and what each rhythm is. He is sure with experience you learn more as you see more but this is definitely a must have for anyone in the medical field. It is like a story from start to finish. Possibly one of the best medical books He have come across in medicine. forget any other ekg book...

Pocket Medicine: The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Internal Medicine

Jmmed said that this book is very helpful, although the expectations for medical students are not that of residents and interns. 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, medical doctor may be asked which study showed the effectiveness of which treatment. This medical 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.
