It's a nice handy book, just like pocket medicine, but it doesn't feel as well organized. There are a lot of topics and they're short and concise, but finding your topic meanings going to the index every time and searching through all of the topics because there isn't much of an order. Once it gets reorganized, it will be much better.

I own a good part of the Pocket Notebook series. Still, the top of the muffin is the Pocket medicine, excellent in content, organization, delivery, everything. This one has a lot of good complimentary info to eh pocket medicine, but its delivery is a but disorganized. Not as pathophysiologic as the Pocket medicine. There are a few HORRIBLE mistakes... one in 2-6 Monitoring. The table's acronyms (some of them) are terribly wrong, and absolutely un-understandable without the Pocket medicine to correct it. Also in 23-5 says INFECTION myocardial infarction, referring to inferior. Little things like that take a good deal away from this book, mistakes of lack of attention from the editors. However, most of it is very useful, and organized, just those little mistakes bug me. Reccomended, however future editions, a hope, will bring it to shine.

Ive tried so hard to like this book, to brief when it needs explanation and too long about stuff that I really don't care about.Unnecessary information abounds, and no references (unlike the medicine book). The index is pretty worthless, hard to find information (there is some crazy amount of chapters, not organ based). Im going to try the oxford guide (a bit bigger but we will see)Im a fellow

If you are looking for practicing COOK-BOOK medicine, this book would be the best option available for ICU setting. Ideal for Intern-Resident level. Highly recommend this product.

Great book. Not the best for studying, as the material is concise and choppy. However, it is great for pre-rounds to get the info you need to know/figure out what needs to be done.

I gave this book 3/5 due to bad organization. The bullet points are poorly aligned. This makes it tough to follow. However, all what you need in icu rotation is there. This comment is based on Kindle edition.

Poorly organized. Not up to par with the Excellent pocket medicine and pocket primary care. Missing important information

The book needs work with organization and information. The book needs work with organization and information. The book needs work with organization and information.
