VitaminJ,

I purchased the book from Majors bookstore in Houston. You might want to check out their website to see if it is sold on-line.

Powermd,

One of the residents at my hospital recommended it to me, and I think that it is a good reference to have when one wishes to double-check their admission orders in the middle of the night. By virtue of the very nature of this forum and the multiple posts that have been made in the past regarding what references to carry in one's white coat, I thought I would spread the word so that future interns could benefit from this resource.

I have no connection with the sales of this book. Why is it that people are so skeptical these days when someone is trying to lend a helping hand? 😕 Lighten up.

I think it's because your original post was just a cut and paste of the purchasing info for the book, and didn't provide any of your own input as to the content of the book, what you like about it, and why you feel it is a "Great Pocket Reference for Intern Year." It would be good to have that sort of input so people get an idea of what books to compare it to, what book(s) it might take the place of in your poclet, etc.

You lier. Of course you have a connection to the book's publisher. Did you think we didn't know that there is only six degrees of separation between any two individuals?

Moderator, plz delete SoCalDreamin's original post immediately!

Exactly.

If you're going to recommend a book for personal reasons, make it look like a personal recommendation. Otherwise you should expect very healthy skepticism. Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but every so often a book author does appear in these forums plugging his product. I have no problem with this, provided the poster's biases are disclosed.

While the second half of my post is a cut and paste from the website that advertises this book, the first line of the thread was not a cut and paste and clearly stated that this books lists admissions orders for a wide array of medicine problems. Being that one of the most important facets of internship is writing correct and thorough admissions orders, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure why such a book would come in handy for an intern. And since you asked, my personal recommendation once again is to lighten up and to resist the temptation of looking like such a stud (powermd) on a public message forum. I'm through with this thread. 🙄
