Hi.

I just found out that my first rotation of Intern year is going to be Pulmonary. Any recs for a good book that I can skim over beforehand, as well as use on the rotation (preferably something with MODERATE detail)? I wouldn't mind something with a little critical care in there as well since the two subjects go hand-in-hand.

Thanks.

If it's still in print, Hyatt, Scanlon, and Nakamura's Interpretation of Pulmonary Function Tests is a good guide that will help you with the nuts and bolts of Pulmonology. It's a Lippincott book.

The pulmonary section of Marino's ICU book is also high yield.

Thanks a bunch.

I'll check it out.

Most folks will agree that Respiratory Physiology, The Essentials by John West is the best book out there. It is all you need and it's pocket size and thorough with explanation on everything pulmonary including pulmonary function tests. The entire book can be read in 2 hours.

Don't have that one. Will take a look at it at the bookstore. Thanks.

agreee w/ above - going through med residency and pulm electives, floors and ICU - 2 god sources - West's Resp physiology and Marino's ICU book

One book with a pulm section that I have literally read over and over is Cecil's Essentials of Medicine, paperback. Not by any means the definitive text of pulm medicine, but its combination of easy to read writing, coupled with nice pictures and tables, make it a favorite all-around review of internal medicine for me for the past two years.

Marino's ICU book is one the easiest to read and definitely one of the highest yield books I have ever owned. (btw, I picked mine up at a used bookstore in Fort Worth, TX for only FIVE bucks! mint condx)

Tim, 1st editions are just a little out of date. 😀

Wait a minute? So that 1st edition Harrison's I've been reading throughout medical school is out of date? Oh man. That thing was great. Only had 20 medications to memorize.
