  - Med students-Use it for you Internal medicine rotation and shine!I read this book in my rotation in med school. YOu can read this book easily in a week. Great charts, graphs, etc...you will shine! Rating:  - The Best pocket book..only wish they would fix the dimensions.I bough this AND washington manual. Over time I found that I greatly preferrred this book. It is much more readable, the organization is better, and the format the information is presented in is better. I could always find what I needed in this book. Washington Manual was difficult to navigate and less readable but slightly more in depth as far as study results and stats go. On the Wards as an acting intern (MS4) or as an intern (pgy-1), I need something like Ferri. During my internship, I used this book and another handbook called "Critical Care Medicine: Current Clinical Strategies" and found that I had all the reference material I ever needed in my labcoat. I agree that the size is slightly awkard for a pocketbook. Just shove it in your pocket. Internship is not about grace or fashion, its about survival. Rating: - The Most Useful Handbook for MedicineI am a medical resident and I have been using this book for 6 months. I can confidently say that it beats Washington Manual in every aspect. It is very well organized and has an amazing array of information in a little volume. You can access information quickly and read it quickly (Unlike Washington). It is full of tables and algorithms. It never disappointed me during internship. You can even read it like a small textbook of medicine. I liked it so much that I did not hesitate to buy the PDA version for my Pocket PC and that is the only software that I use out of everything else that I have. EXCELLENT BOOK. Rating:  - Great content + Poor packaging = Limited usefulnessAs the other reviews here say, Ferri has a lot of useful content for the wards - Physical exam findings, differential diagnoses, brief & useful info on common medical conditions. But it is too big and does not really fit into pockets. Since I can't have it with me, I don't use it that much. I suggest buying this if you want it use it more for occasional reference, but not so much as a frequent reference on the wards. This book would be very useful if it is in a PDA program. Rating:  - What Were They Thinking?It doesn't matter how good this book is - and it is a good reference - the binding is a joke. Crummy weak wire is barely able to hold 1200 pages, making the book completely annoying. Don't buy it unless you plan to keep it on your desk. |
