This book has been my constant companion since the clinical years of my medical school. It is very concise and covers key topics in internal medicine--think of it as medical information in a small notebook, which conveniently fits in your coat pocket.

That said, take note that this is not a detailed medical textbook. It lacks detailed mechanism of diseases, for example, and is in no way a substitution for a proper textbook.

[Elsie]

Good source to start when doing your nightshifts and ward rotation. It gives organization, a good source of primary evidence in medicine and where is the strong evidence. Definitely, if you want to be a better internist you should search more profoundly in other sources. But is well developed.

[Lenny Husen]

This is fine but the print is way too tiny. Got me through Residency. I used the Second Edition.

[Ahmed Alohali]

Amazing gear for IM RESIDENTS

[Dr.xu]

Like it! Add book.

[Doc General]

A comprehensive as a pocket manual can be.

[Joshua Samsoondar]

Excellent reference, carry with me on the wards, but cheaper binding makes it much less sturdy and will probably break down or tare with regular use.

[Nasrullah Marewo]

This was a very exciting books. I will recommend for all of you
