Gucci, or a nice Louis Vitton

LOL yeah on an intern's salary it'll be a "Fendy" pocketbook

really though the Pocket Medicine: Mass Gen handbook is great and almost ubiquitous at my program. There is also a book called "Medicine: On Call" or something similar which was helpful for getting orders together based on diagnosis esp at the beginning where not everything is clear (activity level? how frequent vitals? etc)

Pocket Medicine was very high yield for my medicine ward months intern year.

What about "Washington Manual Internship Survival Guide"?

 

[Mattchiavelli]

if it's the washington manual I'm thinking of it's a good desk reference but too big to really be carried around in a coat pocket

I had that book (its very thin) the internship survival guide and It helped me a lot on a SUB - I i did.
