I heard it's choppy and not that great. I was advised to get Mass Gen and so far it's served me well.

Ah thats disappointing I was hoping it would be as good as Pocket Medicine.

Pocket Medicine is the best 'pocket book' ever made. The Neurology follow up reportedly isn't as great. Go with Mass Gen! Or you can just wait for the audio CD of it I'm recording (I included jokes! 😉 )

Buy it. It's outstanding. No neuro resident should be w/o it. Beats mass gen book hands down.

Ironic. It was written by MGH residents and edited by MGH/BWH/BIDMC faculty.

As a general rule, I didn't find ANY of the so-called "pocket handbooks" for neurology all that helpful (including the MGH or Washington University handbooks).

My advice is to try simply keeping the textbooks like "Victor and Adams" or "Bradley and Daroff" on your desk at the hospital for help and using www.medlink.com or uptodate web sources for additional supplementation. There's always a computer handy at the workplace...

Yes. The handbooks have some information in them about day-to-day problems for overnightcall...but you can get the same information from your internal medicine buddies and the friendly neighborhood pulmonary/critical care fellows just a phone call away.

they gave you a desk?

A good desk. With a window.

Not a neuro resident, but bought it for my neuro rotation as an M4. It's got great stuff and also includes non-neuro stuff. i love it.
