What should I read?

So got a while before residency starts... I know most would say to vacation and not think about it but that's not feasible and I'm bored. Also, 4th year was very good to me and I feel unprepared. Tintinalli's, Rosen's, Harrison's?

Thanks.

I've been listening to some of the EM Basic (http://embasic.org/) podcasts every now and then. They are quite basic but then I've also forgotten a lot and have hardly done anything clinical for months. He bills the podcast as designed for interns and med students.

I've also been reading Michael Weinstock's Bouncebacks (got a free copy from someone). Makes for interesting reading that's not too dense and will certainly help me think of "what's the worst possible thing that could be happening?" come July.

Read Walls airway manual and try to memorize acls drug doses. Other than that, enjoy your time off.

 

[BADMD]

Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. Give your brain a break for a few weeks. Its ok.

 

[deuist]

12-Lead ECG: The Art of Interpretation by Tomas B. Garcia. Study up the ACLS meds. You'll get plenty of time for Tintinalli and Rosens.

Harrisons? You must be joking
