Pocket Primary Care is the latest addition of the Pocket Notebook series. This series is authored by Dr. Meghan Kiefer and Dr. Curtis Chong. I love this 300+ pages handbook and I will tell you why. For those who have looked up Pocket Medicine on , you know that I do a through review of these medical handbooks when I have a chance. Now to be honest, I've maybe read about 10% of this book (you only have so much free time when you're in residency...) but this thing is golden. If you love the Pocket Medicine series but wanted an outpatient version, this is basically it.Disappointingly, this book has more fellows and residents writing the chapters (there was more pages to the start of this book compared to Pocket Medicine due to giving all the credits to all the author), but I'm sure under the editors of Kiefer/Chong, everything should be high quality, evidence based knowledge. Of the pages that I have read, everything looks on point, and as always, most of the pages have tons of references so you can look it up if you want more details about some type of recommendation.Now the biggies:1. What sections does this book have?General Medicine, Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrine, Gastroenterology, Heme/Onc, Infectious Dz, Musculoskeletal, Neurology, Ophthalmology and ENT, Psych, Pulm, Renal/Uro, Women's Health, Men's Health, Geriatrics2. For sections that are in Pocket Medicine and Pocket Primary care, are they the same?Definitely no. That was one of my fears that I would buy this book and it would be exactly the same as Pocket Medicine, but you can definitely tell that topics that are in both books are updated in this book vs Pocket Medicine (the new one) and theres certain focuses in Pocket Primary Care (such as outpatient tips).
