Summary: Best pocket book for IM Rating: 5
Its a great read and even though not a 'pocket book', its worth shoving it into your coat pocket and carrying it around on the wards for a quick reference/read/review. This is a great back up to UpToDate. Every resident, specially those involved with primary care, in any capacity, should have this book.
