Great thread topic! This is very good stuff.
How did you guys get ahold of the Residency Review Manual and Cali Trauma Classifications, though? I got Presby and Hershey from upperclassmen already and I know you can order the PI manual, F&A secrets, Pocket Pod, etc from their websites. I haven't heard anything about R R Manual or the Cali Trauma, though. Do they have ISBN# or do you just have to copy them from upperclassmen?

Also, are there any books you guys liked for 3rd year gen med and gen sx rotations? I am reading Bates for PD class of course, Essentials of Surgery (very good!) for my Surg Principles class, and I also like How to be a Truly Excellent Third Year Medical Student as pocket reading in my free time to learn about hospital structure and teaching setups. Did anyone try the more advanced physician diagnostics books like Sapira or DeGowin... or am probably I better off just reading Bates and buying pod-specific literature?
