I had the 4th edition which, sadly, was stolen. Now, who would take a beat-up, VRE & MRSA ridden old book?!? Well, that all depends on the book. And apparently, THIS one was worth grabbing for keepers.
Full of quick signs, symptoms and management WITH references to landmark journal articles to impress your attendings! Heck, I've even seen attendings with this baby. (Yeah, they don't admit it.)
Definitely worth getting a replacement pristine copy, even at $60. Fits in your pocket, more valuable than a stethoscope (maybe). Don't bother with the e-version, having this on your person, being flip-able is half the value (not to mention there is a HUGE perception difference between looking up things on your phone-slash-tablet and this very recognizable resource. Take my word for it, with the former everyone will assume you're just texting or something.). Whipping this out to looks stuff up is always welcome in the hospital, under most any circumstances. Plus, the mini-binder format (rather than a spiral or bound type format) allows you to add your own pages!
5 stars! I recommend getting even if you're not going into internal medicine, as this really covers the stuff we should know.
