I haven't found any one program to be that spectactular (especially at the prices they charge). I like having several programs so that when one program is missing the info I need I can check another. I definitely recommend free programs. I've got a list below:

Free:
ePocrates (keep in mind that they track you when you use this program)
Pregnancy Wheel: www.mdhelper.com
Eponyms: http://eponyms.net/eponyms.htm
Med Calc: http://www.medcalc.com/

Pay:
Any of the 5 minute series (they're all great)
Washington Manual
Sanford's Guide
Stedman's Medical Dictionary

Hope this helps! 😀

I tried quite a few programs and found Harrison's to be less helpful than most. 5MCC is good, but I got that free w/ InfoRetriever from my school. Stedman's (full version) might actually be worth the money, it's been more useful than most.

As for free stuff, just get a bunch and try them out. I'm not at my home computer, so I can't give you a good list or website.

AtoZ Drugs is awesome, far superior to epocrates! The problem is that you have to either buy it or install it in an illegal fashion.

I agree, that program was terrible!

diagnosaurus is a really cool program too.

This PDR is FREE for medical students and physicians.
I also recommend iSilo. You can use the program to 'grab' things off the net. I have the complete e-Medicine ophthalmology text on my Palm using iSiloX. It's complete with photos too!

I highly recommend the 5MCC: http://www.skyscape.com/index/home.aspx
