Good IM book August 17, 2009
S. Lee (NY, USA)
This book is very good in terms of its simplicity and very well summarized contents
good book July 8, 2009
nlad (NY, USA)
Concise review with good enough details. Easy to read with well laid out design and print.
 What are you using it for March 30, 2009
Kareem Eid (Pittsburgh , PA)
great book, just depends on what are you using it for,my specialty is not internal medicine, but taking the USMLE CK and step 3 entails much knowledge for internal medicine , this book is very useful and conclusive for this level of knowledge , perhaps the book might be inadequate for an internist who reads Harrison for breakfast :) LOL , so it all depends on your prospectives
the lay out is the favorite first aid lay out with a lot of tables (may be too much ! ) with the side margins notes
the bad written chapters
1- geriatrics
2- critical care
chapters that could be improved
1- cardiology
2- endocrinology ( a big mess with cushing syndrome )
3- ambulatory care
chapters need to be added
1- sports medicine
overall for a non internist like me , i find it the most useful and least painful for a rapid review ( its a review don't expect an uptodate or MKSAP level of details here )
for the ABIM I'll leave that to the pros in this area.
 Sweating the Boards February 6, 2009
C. Harper (Alabama)
I got this boards review along with the John Hopkin's one. I looked at several topics in both and found the John Hopkin's to be a little more in depth and easier to get through (better charts, pictures, etc.). I'll probably go over some of the most difficult diseases in both texts. Though Ferri's Practical Guide to the Care of the Medical Patient is really for residents on the wards, it has always been one of my favorite books since I was a medical student/resident and it works as a great refresher for the boards that you can carry anywhere with you. The other books are bulky and heavy.
Great Review Book January 25, 2007
Anthony Martinez (Providence)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've been using this book for the past few weeks in conjunction with the new MKSAP 14 questions. Thus far just about everything the MKSAP has tested can be found in the book. Its very easy to read, high yield and very well priced. The only complaint is the index. Like all the rest of the First Aid series, its horrible. That aside, this book is a great find.
