 Perfect for med students January 6, 2009
Violeta G. Cesin (Caracas, Venezuela)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I really liked how concise it is on the management of diverse pediatric pathologies, specially the algorithms. I am a med student and I found it very useful during my internship in pediatrics, specially in the emergency department. The section with the drugs and all the tips about them (dosage, adverse effects, when not to use it, etc) are really helpful for med students who won't specialise in this area and who want to have a general knowledge on this subject.
It's very helpful for a review on the area, not as a book for the first study of this subject.

The Harriet Lane Handbook has long been a trusted resource for pediatric residents and a good quick reference for practicing pediatricians. Even in this day of internet access, having a pocket manual for quick access is valuable. The book is updated by the residents at John's Hopkins every couple of years and therefore remains current. It contains concise information on development, immunology, infectious diseases, drug doses, nutrition, lab values, etc etc.
Always the best! January 8, 2009

The handbook keeps getting better and better, although there is no way I'll carry in in my lab coat pocket like the "good old days!"

Super useful book for PA and med students! Gives a great run down of all the common conditions. The pharmacology section never steers you wrong in prescribing. I highly recommend!
