 As good as it gets for Internal Medicine May 8, 2008

It really is hard to find a good internal medicine resource that you can get through and understand all the details. This book is the best I have found for a reasonable read that actually explains the mechanisms behind the disease and treatment. It folds a case into each topic and then has a decent sized discussion about aspects such as differential diagnosis, why it is this and why it is not this, treatment, and then finishes with comprehension questions. While the questions are a bit too brief and not that difficult, they are helpful for remembering the important bits. Also, it includes a little box at the end of each section that highlights the key points. I would not replace MKSAP with this, rather I would use it with MKSAP. Then read this again for step 2, as you'll swear after reading this, you see some of it almost verbatim on step 2.
Highly recommended.

Love the CaseFiles series, and the internal medicine one is no different. Carry it around in your pocket and read it during your free moments.

A quick read and a good supplement for studying for the shelf. I would recommend doing a question book in addition.

I think this book is an excellent review of common internal medicine presentations and diseases. One aspect which is particularly helpful is that it outlines the mechanism by which the disease/presentation occurs which helps you to fully understand the disease process. I would recommend it for anyone keen to review this topic and looking to supplement a more detailed text.
Pretty good. August 9, 2007

I think this is a useful book. It's not particularly well written, but it does have some good information. It's also a bit difficult coming up with a structure for making it through. I just look up keywords from patients I see and cross the cases off as I go along. I suppose it's just something to pass the time and get familiar with some diseases before the real studying starts. I don't recommend trying to read it all the way through.
