Practical Clinical Case Books for Intern year

[psych7711]

What books would be great to review before starting internal medicine/neurology months as an intern?

I have the basic harrison's pocket guids and Mass general blue pocket medicine book, but I'm looking for more practical clinical case books and review HPI with physical exam findings and reviewing the assesment/plans

I thought that the Kaplan step 3 clinical case books were helpful but I gave them away after passing the exam....anything similar that is more helpful.

I've been out of med school now for a couple of years and want to try my best to be prepared for IM months....

I think if you have been totally out of medicine for a couple years I would read (re-read?) stuff like First Aid for the medicine clerkship as well as read Lange Medicine Case Files, case files in general does a good job of reviewing pertinent exam findings/history and then has a discussion about assessment/plan, if you are motivated I would read the weekly case files from NEJM. . .
