Average Reviews: (More customer reviews)This manual is written in an easy way to read. If I had to ask for just one manual on pediatric therapeutics, this would be it. This is a great manual for any ward, clinic, resident lounge, and the emergency department. As a consultant of Pediatrics, I highly recommend this book to practicing pediatricians, family practitioners.
Thoroughly updated for its Seventh Edition, this practical quick-reference manual presents authoritative patient management guidelines based on the extensive clinical experience at The Children's Hospital in Boston. Coverage includes normal newborn, well-child, and adolescent care, acute care, disorders of each organ system, behavioral disorders, and management of the child with developmental disabilities and specialized health care needs. The text includes numerous easy-to-scan tables and a popular "A to Z" drug formulary.
Average Reviews: (More customer reviews)This book helped me focus my musculoskeletal exam and make it more effecient.It's a first rate book that ortho docs and GPs alike would benefit from using.GPs and ortho/pm&r/neuro residents may particuarly like the diagnostic work up and treatment sections, which most exam books don't have.I was turned onto this book by a colleague and I'm very grateful that I was.Not many people seem to be using it yet, and I hadn't heard of it, but it's a good find.Other books for musculoskeletal exam that are worth getting are Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment (which is a larger book written by a PT that could be used as a reference for various physical exam maneuvers) and, of course, Hoppenfeld's Physical Exam book.Hoppenfeld still sets the standard when it comes to anatomy and biomechanical review, which he weaves nicely into his physical exam.

Average Reviews: (More customer reviews)I was required to buy this book during Physician Assistant/medical school.It is an excellent book for a medical student with no prior hospital experience.However, even though I had just been a tech and emergency medicine transcriber a year before school I had seen most of the procedures multiple times and only reviewed one or two sections.I recommend it for it being concise and illustrated but a nurse or tech in medical school may not need to glance over this book or a section once just to review important points before a skills exam.Amazon delivered promptly and in great condition; I love that it was free shipping!
