Has anyone used Ferri's Practical Guide to the Care of the Medical Patient on PDA?

I was curious as to how easy it is to navigate through and whether it was abridged or the complete text on PDA? Thanks for the responses.

i have a copy of it and use it only occasionally. i have griffin's 5 minute clinical consult and use that primarily. i believe the pda version of ferri's is abridged, but it is useful in that it has a lot of charts and tables of common findings/labs/ekg's/etc. it also has an extensive index of normal lab results, which helped me get rid of one more book i was carrying around in my pockets. that alone is priceless 😀

Don't bother with this program. The layout is awful and very difficult to navigate. You won't be able to find anything in here. If you need Ferri's, you should just buy the spiral book. I know it's heavy and doesn't really fit in coat pocket real well, but the PDA program is a piece of *&$(^%. It was a waste of money. I don't use it at all.
