Amazon.com Review This is the very popular Lange Series "Scut Monkey" book that every third- and fourth-year medical student relies on to survive in their internal medicine rotation. It covers commonly used drugs, laboratory and diagnostic tests, and need-to-know tips on physical assessment and history taking. This handy pocket guide even covers materials not found in other quick reference books, such as suturing and charting. It's a must-have for M-3s, M-4s, first-year residents, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. --Carolyn Lewis | ||

This book saved my life! Third year can be really hard and I didn't realize that students are expected to sort of figure things out for themselves. That can be hard if you aren't even sure what you don't know. I am a smart person, but I was at a loss for some really basic things. It looked bad. Then! I found this book and let me tell you I felt like I had found the key to the magic garden. Or more acurately, that I had found a buoy on a dark and stormy night. I honestly had thought I was going to drown. I learned my notes/h&p's, differential diagnoses, medications, ekg's, chest x-rays, ICU vent settings and devices, surgical knots, fluids and electrolytes, laboratory diagnosis, micro - ok, you get the picture. It completely changed how I learned and did things. I carried it everywhere, and proudly too. A good book is like your best friend, solid, reliable and full of good advice. This book is the best, and I absolutely love it. I expect to carry it with me for the next few years. | ||
Excellent but a little too big I found out about this book my second month as an intern. I wish I had known about it when I was a med student. It has basic review of disease processes, lab interpretation, procedures, and a drug reference. The procedure descriptions and illustrations are probably the best of any reference I have seen. The only problem is that it's a little too big to use as a pocket reference. I keep it in my on-call bag. | ||
just a bit too big I really have found this book useful, but it will weigh you down and hurt your aerodynamics. I liked the sections on labs and differentials as a 3rd year, and found the procedure walkthroughs to be useful as a 4th year. For residency I plan to go completely with the PDA. | ||
very handy manual i found your book excellent in bedside procedures and normal values but unfortunately i have not found enough guides in clinical pictures (diagnosis)and full investigations for separate disease entities to help in query bizzare clinical presentations in our wards | ||
Great reference book I highly recommend this text for third year medical students. It properly assumes that the third year medical student knows next to nothing about clinical medicine and proceeds to explain abbreviations, commonly used drugs, procedures, protocols on rounds, and a whole host of useful things needed to survive and thrive in the hospital setting. I used it not only in medical school, but during my residency as well (especially during the first two years), especially when learning critical care medicine. Definitely shell out a few bucks and buy this book before you start your clinical rotations during medical school. | ||
