Guide to the Most Common Internal Medicine Workups and Diseases: An evidenced based guide for all healthcare providers regarding common hospital based workups and diseases seen in Internal Medicine Standard Edition

As a new grad hospitalist PA this book is extremely helpful. It’s easy to find information and everything is clearly stated. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing book!! highly recommend! I am a Family Medicine resident, and this book is helping me a lot with inpatient medicine, the book is super clear and not overwhelming. I wish I woulda have purchased earlier!

The book is well organized into three portions: symptom/chief complain based differentials/ workup, most common ward conditions, as well as labs based diagnosis (plus some short intro of ICU topics and medications). It follows the tasks orders - i.e. take HPI, then work up needed, and differential and management. The workup is relatively complete - good for any newcomer to the hospital medicine. The most valuable part for more experienced reader is its cited classic clinical trials (such as guideline/goal direct medical therapy for heart failure). This is good to have for intern / senior med students who rotate through the wards. If your institution has a house officer manual, this book will be sorta redundant. If not, this book will be a good read. Compared with Pocket Medicine - it is to the point, doesn't kill eyesight, succinct, and builds your basics well.

As a first year intern, this book helped me tremendously for some of the common things and during those solo call nights when I had to assess patient's on the wards during the middle of the night. It is area specific (in that what may be common in your country, may not be covered in this book so bare that in mind) however it covers the basic 'common' presentations like ACS, Pneumonia, Syncope, UTI, etc. I appreciated the miscellaneous topics section as well and the common medication tables as well.

Would highly recommend, simple. You need this in your life as a novice Advanced Practice Provider, or a resident, or just about anyone in the healthcare field especially being a new hospitalist.

Newly graduated PA starting my first job as a Hospitalist/Nocturnist. Saw the positive reviews and thought I would give this book a try- definitely not disappointed! Book is succinct/not too wordy but still contains most important info for things to consider in your differential, can’t-miss diagnoses, important H/P questions, diagnostics, and treatment. Also love that landmark studies are included. Only thing I would change would be to better categorize by organ system to find things faster... Also been adding things here and there that I feel are important. Looking forward to using this as a quick resource when on the job.

This has been very useful — gives guidance on what to order based on different diagnoses.

Seems easy to read. This will be my commute reading. But the print font is so small. I wish it's a bit bigger font so that readers don't strain their eyes.
