This is the very popular Lange Series "Scut Monkey" book that every third- and fourth-year medical student relies on to survive in their internal medicine rotation. It covers commonly used drugs, laboratory and diagnostic tests, and need-to-know tips on physical assessment and history taking. This handy pocket guide even covers materials not found in other quick reference books, such as suturing and charting. It's a must-have for M-3s, M-4s, first-year residents, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. --Carolyn Lewis

This book saved my life!.......2007-03-18
Third year can be really hard and I didn't realize that students are expected to sort of figure things out for themselves. That can be hard if you aren't even sure what you don't know. I am a smart person, but I was at a loss for some really basic things. It looked bad. Then! I found this book and let me tell you I felt like I had found the key to the magic garden. Or more acurately, that I had found a buoy on a dark and stormy night. I honestly had thought I was going to drown.
I learned my notes/h&p's, differential diagnoses, medications, ekg's, chest x-rays, ICU vent settings and devices, surgical knots, fluids and electrolytes, laboratory diagnosis, micro - ok, you get the picture. It completely changed how I learned and did things. I carried it everywhere, and proudly too. A good book is like your best friend, solid, reliable and full of good advice. This book is the best, and I absolutely love it. I expect to carry it with me for the next few years.
Excellent but a little too big.......2006-01-17
I found out about this book my second month as an intern. I wish I had known about it when I was a med student. It has basic review of disease processes, lab interpretation, procedures, and a drug reference. The procedure descriptions and illustrations are probably the best of any reference I have seen. The only problem is that it's a little too big to use as a pocket reference. I keep it in my on-call bag.
just a bit too big.......2005-05-07
I really have found this book useful, but it will weigh you down and hurt your aerodynamics. I liked the sections on labs and differentials as a 3rd year, and found the procedure walkthroughs to be useful as a 4th year. For residency I plan to go completely with the PDA.
very handy manual.......2000-06-08
i found your book excellent in bedside procedures and normal values but unfortunately i have not found enough guides in clinical pictures (diagnosis)and full investigations for separate disease entities to help in query bizzare clinical presentations in our wards
Great reference book.......1998-04-01
I highly recommend this text for third year medical students. It properly assumes that the third year medical student knows next to nothing about clinical medicine and proceeds to explain abbreviations, commonly used drugs, procedures, protocols on rounds, and a whole host of useful things needed to survive and thrive in the hospital setting. I used it not only in medical school, but during my residency as well (especially during the first two years), especially when learning critical care medicine. Definitely shell out a few bucks and buy this book before you start your clinical rotations during medical school.

Indispensible1!!!.......2007-07-09
I have had this book in my library since the first edition and I buy the updates as soon as they are available. I recommend it to my (advanced practice nursing) students as a concise tool to keep up with the latest in procedures, medications, tests and imaging studies while maintaining and reviewing all the basic principles.
And you can't beat the "Scut Monkey" name!!

Clinician's Pocket Drug Reference 2007.......2007-08-25
I am a new RN and use this reference guide every day. It is small enough to carry in my pocket or clip to the patient's chart. It is easy to use and contains all the essential information. There has not been a single medication that I looked up that was not in this guide. Drugs are listed by the generic name with trade name in parentheses. Great tables in the back of the book for administration of insulins and steriods. I highly recommend this book for new RNs and have been asked to borrow it by seasoned RNs as well.
good but i have had better.......2007-05-15
I have only been using it for a short time but it does provide the info. i want and need as a nurse, set up takes a little getting use to!

Handy but limited due to size........2007-05-07
For anyone who needs a quick (and cheap) drug reference and you don't have time to refer to your PDR or Nursing guides, this is a good substitute. It gives all of the vital information you'll need when you're on the move. The only downside is that it is last year's edition and may not be up to date.
The healthcare provider cheater pocket book.......2006-03-22
I think this book is the best one yet, it is small enough to fit in the pocket of my scrubs and informative enough to answer all my patients questions about the medications they use, and it comes in handy for the "hard"to spell medications. The best feature of this book is it's size, just love it and I recommend it to all my co-workers.
ems guide.......2006-03-10
Everything about it makes it really user friendly, down to the quality of the paper. Really packed with good need to know information found really quickly. Pediatric trauma is found in the trauma section which I thought would be in the peds section, so that is the only difficutly I had (more user error I think).
Book Description
Have you ever wanted to calculate the predicted peak flow for one of your asthmatic patients without spending valuable minutes searching for that confounded little slide rule gizmo? Wouldn’t it be great if you could somehow remember all Mrs. Jones’ medications when the nursing home calls to see if it’s OK to treat her acutely elevated blood pressure with some atenolol?
Handheld computers are emerging as the stethoscopes of the twenty-first century, and no clinician should be without this essential tool. These small, easy-to-use devices are now powerful enough to help clinicians manage information and make medical decisions at the point of care. This comprehensive how-to guide targets all levels of handheld computer users, from novices to experts, and demonstrates how to make the most of handheld computers in any medical practice.
Designed with easy-to-understand, hands-on exercises for each new skill presented, this book begins with choosing a handheld and "getting to know" your new device. It then progresses through downloading and installing software, using charge capture and e-prescription programs, Internet and evidence-based resources for your device, designing and programming your own programs, and going wireless. Written by three experienced family medicine clinicians, Handhelds in Medicine is designed to improve every day practice for any busy health professional. There are chapters written for and by nearly every health professional, including nurses, physician assistants and speech pathologists. The book also includes a CD-ROM with a comprehensive collection of medical software that can be installed to your handheld (trial versions) or purchased via the Web. Reviews of handheld devices and websites will be kept current at www.handheldsinmedicine.com

Customer Reviews:
Tarascon still better.......2005-11-07
This is a good general reference book to have, but Tarascon is still better.
Better than Tarascon.......2005-09-22
This is the best quick pocket drug reference it has everything from Tarascon as well as indications, contraindications, side effects, mechanisms of action, susceptible bugs for antibiotics, and important information unique to specific drugs.
Merchandise Review.......2005-08-06
Not what I thought it would be; I am an LCSW who wanted to use this as a reference for my client's prescriptions. This is not a very useful book and I would have been much better off buying a PDR.
