Summary: Great!!!
Comment: Great book to keep in a small bag. Excellent for 'light' reading. I found it really useful and enjoyable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: WAYYYYY too detailed!!!!
Comment: This book is FAR too dense to be useful on the clinical wards. Essentially, it is filled with a whole lot of excessive facts which have no clinical relevance, nor relevance to Steps 2 or 3. I would not recommend the money, get Step 2 Secrets instead, farrrrrr more practical for ward survival and board review. However, if you are looking to work your trap muscles...this is the sole purpose for this text!

Summary: A book that I carried with me almost all the time.
Comment: Medicine Recall covers a summary of the basics of the different medical subspecialties including cardiology, respiratory medicine, nephrology, immunology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, rheumatology, dermatology and neurology among others that have been covered briefly such as pharmacology and psychiatry. Similar to the other recall series books, the book was written in questions and answers style. The questions are in the left side of each page and the answers are on the right side of the same page. The questions are short and clear and the answers are brief and written in clear simple English and to the point. This style of writing makes reading quite easy and the concentration level needed to grasp the information much less than the classic way of writing review books in essay style. This style has made the books quite handy as light reading material when you are in your way in the train or the bus or whenever you do not feel like reading a textbook to get an answer to a basic question because of having to read long paragraphs to get the answer. The book covers the definitional, clinical, basic patho-physiological, diagnostic, and management aspects of the hot topics in medicine. The target readers of the book range from medical students starting their clinical rotations to house officers. The questions' flow in most chapter is quite logical starting by definitions, epidemiology, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and findings, prognostics, and ending up with management. They are the sort of questions that consultants like to pimp their juniors with and they cover high yield information that show up in viva's or at the end clinical assessment exercises.
In this book, I particularly liked the hematology, infectious disease and nephrology sections. The hematology section was the best or in simple words most of what you need to know and to the point. In the infectious disease section, many of the common infections e.g. UTIs and sexually transmitted diseases were covered in very nice summaries of what you need to know about them with little to be looked up in other books (does not often include dosages or duration of treatment).
One of the problems of the book is the use mg/dl unit instead of the international unit system of mmol/l, so you will have to convert those units to mmol/ l. The index could be improved as some of the covered topics may not show up there. The book lacks a reference ranges which would have the book even better.
I found this book very useful in aiding my learning and I would highly recommend it to medical students, trainees interns, and junior house officers as a crash course for the different medical runs that are covered by this book I have got most of the other books of this series and I believe it was the best of them all! However, you have to realize that for the highly specialized questions you will need to consult one of those high BMI ( > 30) textbooks or medline to get an answer to the question J .

Summary: Amazing book, but it WILL fall apart after a few months.
Comment: This book is excellent for an internal medicine rotation, giving you exactly what you need without any unnecessary filler. Covers every topic in internal medicine, including psychiatry. I used this to study for the oral exam, and all of the questions were straight out of this book. The only complaint I have is that the spine of the book is cheap and pages started to fall out after three months of use. I've had to tape up about 80 pages back into the book. Other than that,this is an amazing book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too Bulky for a "Recall" Text
Comment: While Surgical, OB/GYN, and Psychiatry Recall were indeed excellent recall pearls, Medicine Recall and its counterpart Pediatric Recall are just too big to be utilized as they are intended. It is not a quick read, and is really too bulky to fit in a ward coat unless you are trying to incorporate weight training into your medicine clerkship. If this is the case, simply add Pediatrics Recall to your opposite pocket and watch your trapezius muscles grow to infinite proportions!
