Summary: Good for Interns
Comment: This is a good book for interns/first year residents
and sub-interns. It has a strong emphasis on patient
evaluation that will be useful for work on the wards
as well as in the ED. It's most handy when you're
trying to round out your differential diagnosis and
want some direction when working up a patient.
Several features that I found to be quite useful are
the cardiology lab for EKG's, the surgical glossary
and syndrome glossary for looking up eponyms. The
problem-based format is much more practical than a
systems or discipline based format and is easier to
use when on general ward rotations. One thing that I
would like to see would be a stronger emphasis on the
practical management of disease. While the Handbook
gives a good foundation in the concepts of management,
I would appreciate more of the nitty-gritty details in
patient care. However, the book is still a handbook
and the emphasis on diagnosis and evaluation is very
useful for interns and sub-I's who are still mastering
the art of differential diagnosis and the work-up of
various illnesses.

Summary: Excellent Book for the Wards
Comment: This is an excellent book for pediatric residents and medical students in pediatric rotations. The book is organized by symptom e.g. abdominal pain, chronic cough, and it provides a comprehensive list of differential diagnosis, flow charts for diagnosis, as well as short discussions on most common diseases associated with that particular symptom. A must for pediatric rounds.
