Customer Reviews

pocket reference

This item has been very useful on the several occasions when I needed a quick reference for patient management issues, particularly for urgent ongoing diabetic care. Service of the purchace (pricing, delivery, integrity of product) were all at the usual excellent quality I've come to expect.

wonderful companion!

Excellent book.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Such a great reference. I have stopped using my PDA after I purchased it.

Exactly what I was looking for

I loved the 3E of this pocketbook, but it hadn't been updated for the new ACLS so I stopped using it. Now that the update is out, I've come back to using this book every day. A previous reviewer noted that the index is not as good as maybe it could have been, but I find it easier (in this case) to use the TOC as the starting point anyway.

Useful

Everyone HAS to have one of these in thier pocket in the ER. The abtibiotic section is so helpful.

A Wonderful companion

It is amazing how such a small book could contain such a collection of vital and important information that you might need while practicing in the shift. The classifications presented in this pocket book of the different scales, criterias, and classes of diseases is absolutely great. Very concise and to the point , which is exactly what you need when faced with a case in the ED right there, and right then. It collects for you the criteria that will help you score the severity of your patient relieving you from having to memorize endless information that may not be needed on a day to day basis. I cannot imagine my shift without this book. A definate five star item
