On Call: Principles and Protocols

Summary: FP in practice--still using it on call!
Review: I used the first edition of this book as a med student and as a resident, and it got totally worn bc I used it so often.

I've been out in practice for over 5 years now, and I still use it (newer edition) when I'm on call, and even in the clinic.

It's great because it gives the info you need for assessing and managing common acute in-patient problems ("elevator thoughts"), and lists the most critical and the most common differential diagnoses.

It's also very concise, so you can find info fast, and not have to go flipping through pages of useless info when someone on the ward is crashing.

It's well worth the money.
