 - A short review of the Washington ManualA "must have" for the medical practitioner's library. An easily accessible source of reference at the doctor's office or while doing rounds at the hospital. The edition is very much updated. Rating: - Excellent but fragileExcellent book from a trusted source! Could not ask for a more complete IM handbook. I like that it has a good balance between being very clinical and symptom-oriented vs. diagnosis-based. Unfortunately, the book itself is very fragile. It used to come in a non-spiral bound version, but with more and more medical knowledge being added, it has since grown a lot thicker. I understand they have to use very thin paper and bind the book spirally to make the it portable, but with its intended use of being carried around as a reference at hand, I often soon find that the pages are coming off the binding. Also, the font is small and tiresome to read. I wish they would find a better paper and binding alternative, or come up with an e-book version so one has the option to print sections as needed. Rating:  - Very useful bookThis book is really useful and contains a great deal of information regarding everything an IM student/resident would like to know. It's very well written, clear and concise. It has a big drawback though: it is big and heavy enough for not being comfortably put in your pocket, since it is considered a pocket book. If this is not a disadvantage for you it is a perfect companion for quick refence in theoretical and some practical stuff Rating: - Washington ManualGreat reference for the busy practitioner in the ambulatory setting. Gets to the gut of the issues and easy to read. Wide variety of diagnosis' and very up to date information. |
