Summary: A great little reference book!
Review: I found this reference to be extremely helpful during clinical training periods when one feels extremely rushed and harried. When trying to think of everything that you should check while treating patients, the comfort of this little pocket aide is nice to have. The history and physical section with admit/discharge summaries is concise and complete. When needed in a hurry, the Labs section as well as the EKG and Heart Murmers sections is very helpful. Also, the herbal remedies section is great for that ER patient who is admitted and can't remember the name of the root extract that they took for their condition. I especially liked the common drug/herbal interactions section. I heartily recommend this pocket pal to any student in the medical field. It is well worth the money.

Summary: Excellent for PA's
Review: Mr Hancock, time and time again I have spread word as to how efficient your text is for PA's across the country. I have used this book, and given copies of it out to others. Everyone has given it high praise. Thanks for the hard work!

Summary: Outstanding Reference!
Review: The author has spent time in the trenches as a student of medicine and has incorporated that "handy" information necessary to survive the wards from his own experience and 'hints" and "tips" recieved from other students and professionals. Physician, PA, NP, nursing and other allied health professionals can benefit from the outstanding pocket reference. Highly recommended for the practitioner, resident, intern, or student in any of the general medical disciplines.
