Cecil Textbook
of Medicine (22th Ed CD-ROM) by Russell L.
Cecil (Editor), Fred Plum (Editor), J. Claude Bennett
This is another well known and respected text
covering internal medicine. The link above goes to
the CD-ROM version.
Practical Guide
to the Care of the Medical Patient by Fred F.
Ferri. Released
12/97. [ORDER NOW]I just
received my copy. It's thicker than the previous
version, but still well organzied. It is great for
figuring out how to work up patients with different
syndromes such as CHF. Unfortunately, unlike its
predecessor, it no longer fits in my white coat
pocket.
Rapid
Interpretation of EKG's by Dale B. Dubin.[ORDER NOW] This book has come highly
recommended to me by other 3rd year med students and
current chief residents. It takes you through EKGs
in a very systematic manner.
The EKG
Pocket Survival Guide by Masterson, Handler,
Tenner, and Rothenhaus. This book, available directly
from the publisher is really good if someone has
already taught you the basics. It uses the same
systematic approach that is presented in the more in
depth in Dubin's EKG book.
Blueprints In ...
series by Blackwell Publishing This is a
series of 5 books covering the 5 big 3rd year
rotations (Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/Gyn, Surgery, and
Psychiatry). They
are concise. I read through the surgery edition in 2
days. At the end of each chapter is an excellent,
concise list of key points to memorize. These will
also come in useful when you take the USMLE 3
especially if you go into something other than Family
practice.
