Rapid Access Guide to Internal Medicine: Companion to Kelley's Textbook of Internal Medicine

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful resource
Review: Dr. Fine is a superb clinician and a wise, humane practitioner and teacher. His ability to see and explain with clarity even the most complex of subjects shines through in this book. While it is a more strictly clinical book than his first ("The Wards") and therefore not as filled with his trademark compassion and understanding, "Rapid Access Guide to Internal Medicine" accomplishes its goal admirably. It is conscientiously and thoughtfully put together, a wonderful aid for any busy physician seeking that most elusive of resources: one that offers solid, dependable and insightful information in a quickly navigated format. "Rapid Access Guide to Internal Medicine" helps cement Dr. Fine's standing as a physician--and a communicator--of rare gifts. Highly recommended.

Summary: A "Fine" purchase.
Review: I purchased this book during my internship, when I felt constantly overwhelmed by the large textbooks we were told were the staples of internship.
It seems like a great, portable review of all of the topics which interns in Internal Medicine see on a day-to-day basis
on the wards.
The fine editing adds enough detail to be comprehensive, but still concise enough to be read quickly when you're busy.
I recommend it highly.

Summary: An excellent reference
Review: This is one of the finest books relating to internal medicine I have read. It is brief, to the point and highlights the most important information one would need. I had trouble putting it down. I plan to order one for all my colleagues and family members.
