Summary: A highly recommended pick for medical library holdings
Comment: This Thomson Healthcare edition of Physicians' Desk Reference 2004 is a specifically designed professional reference for physicians and the medical community, and is updated yearly. Private practice, hospital, pharmacy, clinic, medical training centers and academic health libraries and health reference collections will find it an indispensable reference. This 58th edition lists all pharmaceutical manufacturers with address, phones and emergency contacts, includes products by category, and provides a diagnostic product information section which includes dosing instructions in Spanish, special notations on controlled substances, and FDA contacts. The extensive reference does require an in-depth knowledge of medicine for best access, making it a highly recommended pick for medical library holdings who will consider it a standard acquisition; but plenty of public and college-level libraries will find their patrons referring to it as well. Highly recommended.

Summary: Kind of like paying for one volume of the LA phone book...
Comment: The PDR is basically a bloated collection of current-patent drug inserts printed on cheap newsprint. It weighs a ton, and contains virtually no information that one can't download from the relevant drug company's website for free.
If you are a doctor, you probably get this book for free. That's about what it's worth, considering that its scope is limited to expensive non-generic drugs.
If you have fifty bucks to spend on a drug reference, get something complete and useable like the "Physician's Drug Handbook." If you want full prescribing info for a current drug, you can get it off the internet without worrying about out-of-date info or expired CD's.

Summary: PDR and CD
Comment: If you folks who love Microsoft products so much are mad because the CD ROM on the PDR expires in a year. What a joke ALL of your software from Microsoft is going to do this. Yes thats right, each year you will pay or your program will not play. This starts at the Operating System and any software you bought and is owned by Microsoft will stop working unless each year you pay a fee to Microsoft, that's what monoply suit was about.
The PDR is a very important book to any one who is ill and needs information on the drug. Remember that the drug companies must pay to have their drug listed, so some old ones may not be listed and the spin on the drugs effects is well lets say no bad things are really going to be listed other then what the FDA requires. So while an excellent reference
look a little deeper fo drug effects and real person use
I sure love my Mac, I can do everything a MS user can do and more, except I pay once. Microsoft a monoply, naaaa
