I kept the TOp 30 Problems in EMergency Medicine in my pocket, it was a perfect "pimp protector." Also had the usual Antibiotic Guide for the ED, as well as the pocket pharmacopeia.

Also, Tarascon(sp) has a free beta version of the classic pocket pharmacopeia for the palm. Search for it on-line. I've also downloaded a Hopkin's abx guide, but have yet to try it out. This can cut down on the amount of "pocket books" you have if you own a cheap palm.

About that "top 30 problems" book... I know its out of print, but do they still sell it anywhere? If not, when is the new one coming out? (I know it says spring '03 on the EMRA site).

I just picked up a book which i find pretty useful -- Pocket Emergency Medicine -- I could have used it as an intern -- a lot of bread and butter stuff as well as stuff you need to know

You should carry a drug reference from this point on. (1)Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopia is the classic, or a palm based reference like epocrates and another with a good pedi drug list. (2)A Sanford pocket or other antimicrobial guide is a good idea too.
My personal favorite pocket ED guide for medical school was the (3)NMS Clinical Manual for Emergency Medicine. Basically a thin, light 250 small page pocket guide with the basics for 30 seconds of reading before you present the case. Helped me alot with the basics in every field for 3rd and 4th year EM rotations. Top 30 EM problems is an OK book but not as well organized with less info.
Many good palm references too. The classic ED reference book is the thick Tintinalli, but it's too big and long for general med school reading.
