This text is useful for 3rd and 4th more medical students who are beginning to write admission H&Ps, as well as admission orders. I also could see this being useful for interns. The book starts with a section called "Guide Tables," which lists, in table format, commonly used information such as DVT prop. initial vent settings, abx spectrum, and more. The tables are made to be read quickly and are ordered well. The main text of the book is divided into specialty areas. For example, cards, endo, infxn disease and so on. Within each section, there are common admission orders. They follow the standard format. The orders also include a section called "management" which details initial treatment, as well as a section called "diagnosis," which provides more information on rule outs and pearls regarding the diagnosis. Overall, I found the orders to be accurate and succinct. Again, this text is for quick reference, so do not expect explanations, as they are not given. There is a bonus section on toxicology which I think is useful and usually left out of reference texts. In addition to the standard sections, there are sections based on "symptoms" (i.e., chest pain, cough); and a section on symptom management. I think the symptom management section is perfect for the intern who is beginning to memorize the commonly used symptomatic drugs. Overall, I think this is a perfect reference for the medical student who is beginning to write orders and even for a new intern. In comparison to "Medicine," another commonly used order book, this Instant Access book is more thorough, the orders are more reasonable (I have found many problems with the orders in the "Medicine" book. I would recommend this book without reservation.

One of my residents pointed out this little beauty. Completely changes the way you write notes and provides an instant checklist of things that need to be addressed in the top 1000 patient complaints. Starts with pertinent Questions that need to be asked, examination findings, lab studies and then goes on to basic management plans. Whilst it may seem that 2006 is outdated, because it really covers all bases I find that it is more than enough for medical students, and from what my resident said, interns too.

For an intern without much admission experience, this book definitely will help as a resource for making sure the basic admission orders are included. On call, especially in the middle of night when your brain may NOT be working at 100% capacity, this little book will ensure a swift and complete admission without any missing orders.

This is great resource... esp if you are alone doing admissions and don't want to ask a million questions!

I found this book b/c a upperclassman recommend it when he was doing IM. It is true that this is a must for most med students/interns who are beginning to entering orders. It does not waste any extra language on explaining why the orders are there so for those who wants thicker read, use Harrison's.Overall, I am very satisfied by the purchase. It was delivered promptly and as promised it was new. I hate that a lot of sellers out there say the book is new and delivered it with hightlights/underlines in it. Thanks!

I really liked this book. The topics are arranged in a table form. Very easy to read and refer as needed. Every intern should read this book.www.BecomeAHospitalist.com

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!! I would NOT have survived call days or working nights during my Intern year without this book. I APPROVE 1,000 times!!!!! Just trust me.

Great, up to date, concise and consistent with orders and work up. Very organized and easy to look through and use
