I am getting ready to start an away rotation in Ob/Gyn. I wanted to have something in my pocket that I can flip through quickly (sort of like Pocket Medicine) because my iPhone cannot be relied on (internet connections, 3G, etc.). I have heard mixed things about the Washington Manual for Ob/Gyn and then the "red book" Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Infertility. Does anyone have some suggestions? Thanks!

I think the "red book" is better. It is available as a native IPhone app. Its fairly expensive and has mixed reviews but you wouldn't need an internet connection, and a lot of times in OB/GYN you won't have your coat on you but you will probably always have your phone.

Thanks guys! I love my iPhone but I have found that many times it gives out right when I need it to work...but, I will try the red book. Is it too big to have in the back pocket of your scrubs?

No, it is a tiny red book (at least the pocket edition). Fits well in your white coat. Link below to Amazon.

You can also get the "Red Book" as an App on the iPhone (I think around $20-30).

Best of luck!
