e_is_hv Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hey Everyone, I've been looking at books for my internal medicine clerkship rotation. They all seem to be similar (Blueprints, Step up to Medicine etc), in that they will give give a description of a disease (like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis), and then tests to run, and then management. But of course, clerkship is the opposite...you're presented with CC of cough, chest pain, abdo pain etc, and then asked to make a differential, order tests etc. Anyone know of a book like this? That's ordered by CC, has DDx, and investigations to make a Dx? Many, many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheech10 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yup. Problem Oriented Medical Diagnosis. Good when you're starting out, but later differential diagnosis becomes second nature. Also Approach to Internal Medicine is similarly organized (for the most part, and Canadian!), but more of a handbook/less of a textbook. Very good for Royal College review for internal medicine.

leviathan Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Does pocket medicine organize its stuff by chief complaint??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
national Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 YOu might like this, when the next edition comes out (canadian specific! nothing worse that using an american reference in the middle of the night and trying to convert the normals) http://sites.google.com/site/medicineaim/ Also highly recommend pocket medicine. mine is well worn. used it on most rotations during clerkship, and continue to use it during residency. you start to feel old when all the clerks have a new edition.

Looks like there's quite a bit of overlap so I don't want to get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
