Pocket Medicine: The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Internal Medicine

Pocket Notebook

by Marc S. Sabatine (Editor)

Prepared by residents and attending physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital, this pocket-sized looseleaf is one of the best-selling references for medical students, interns, and residents on the wards and candidates reviewing for internal medicine board exams. In bulleted lists, tables, and algorithms, Pocket Medicine provides key clinical information about common problems in cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, hematology-oncology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, rheumatology, and neurology.

The six-ring binder resembles the familiar "pocket brain" notebook that most students and interns carry and allows users to add notes. This Third Edition is fully updated, has tabs to help readers locate organ systems, and has more cross-referencing in the index. It also has pockets in the front and the back of the book to accommodate the reader's own notes.

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.

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.

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

A comprehensive as a pocket manual can be.

[Joshua Samsoondar · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.
