We have an attending that strongly believes that as part of becoming a good physician, all students should get through the Wash Manual and then use Harrison's as a reference for more in-depth reading on certain topics.
I don't do well with thick books, period. Should I feel bad that I am instead using Step Up to Medicine (maybe gonna get through it twice during the IM rotation)? And then use Pocket Medicine as a reference book or for down-time quick reading at the hospital (it's actually not "quick" for me to read Pocket Medicine and originally I was going to convince myself to read the whole thing @ like 5 pages per day, but not gonna happen right now...Just on a patient-by-patient basis).
I'm planning on shelling out the cash for the year-round World subscription too.
