The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down257 reviews
Anne Fadiman

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998

What else is there to say? Essential reading!
By the time more than two hundred people have reviewed a book and a hundred and seventy people have given it five stars, adding one's own two cents to the mix seems almost beside the point. Yet the significant minority who have written highly negative reviews seem to call out for response. Besides, I happened to love the book and want simply to share that fact. I knew nothing about the ...
  
  











  



  
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks40 reviews
Rebecca Skloot

Crown, 2010

Deserves immortal status
This is without question the best non-fiction book I've read in years. Skloot's debut is thrilling, original and refuses to be shoehorned into anything as trivial as a genre. Equal parts popular science, historical biography and detective novel, it reads as evocatively as any work of fiction. Skloot repeatedly appears as a character in her own book, narrating her journey from first hearing ...

Tao Le, Vikas Bhushan, ...

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2009

Very good book
This book is a great book to study from. It's very concise and easy to follow, with some good hints on how to remember key concepts. I use it as an overview when studying for class to get the big picture on certain topics, and then use my primary notes for a more in-depth look at the material. This book came highly recommended to me, and thus far, it is proving to be quite useful in my studies. ...

The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. ...180 reviews
Norman Doidge

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Unhappy porn addicts, check out chapter 4
Doidge's chapter on acquired sexual tastes is much needed for today's heavy porn users, some of whom are experiencing miserable unexpected side effects from their Internet porn habits. He addresses familiar symptoms like desensitization to normal sex, erectile dysfunction, escalation to watching things the viewer doesn't even like just to climax, and the deterioration of relationships. Without ...
  
  











  



  
Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 21st Edition (Thumb Index Version)172 reviews

F A Davis Co, 2009

Good deal for the money
The only thing I don't like about this is that it doesn't have a thumb index. I knew this when I ordered it and didn't think I would need it. It would save me a lot of time! Otherwise, I really like this!

Antimicrobial Therapy, 2009

Great guide for any professional in the medical field. I am a Clinical Microbiologist and when reviewing antibiograms, I find the Sanford Guide a very helpful aide, and very easy to use. A must have for a clinical microbiologist!
  
  











  



  
The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right52 reviews
Atul Gawande

Metropolitan Books, 2009

Reduce Risk and Control What You Can
Some people may not be enamored with the stories and examples but the author's message is on point. We need to continually utilize checklists and whatever means are available to reduce risk in an increasingly complex world. It's in everyone's best interest to calculate risk, reduce it when possible and execute with precision. A surgeon is as good a person to tell that story as anyone.

Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc., 2010

My Pocket Pharmacy Miracle
The Best thing to have in my pocket for many years running. As an emergency physician it is the one and only thing I always carry in my pocket, PDA's can get low on battery and honestly be unreliable.
  
  











  



  
BRS Physiology (Board Review Series)83 reviews
Linda S Costanzo

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

great book for Exam preparation
I have benefited much from this book in test preparation. If you are a medical student and want in-depth Physiology studies you could benefit much from larger books like Guyton's but if It is time to prepare for tests and want a book that will give you concise information, help you to prepare well, rich with questions that teach you how to think whether after each chapter you study or at the end ...
  
  











  



  
The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition116 reviews
Kathleen Huggins

Harvard Common Press, 2005

Best book for nursing mothers
This book was such a lifesaver when I was nursing my babies. I found out about it from the lactation consultant at the hospital and it literally saved me many times when issues came up. I worked full time while still breast feeding (yes it is possible to do that!) and I am so glad that I could. This book answers all the possible questions you might have and all the issues (breast infections, ...

Judith Hopfer Deglin, April Hazard Vallerand

F A Davis Co, 2008

Excellent Drug Book
This book was very useful in nursing school. It has a CD-rom with a downloadable drug guide. I was able to cut and paste drug information from it and did not have to retype information for drug sheets.
  
  











  



  
The DASH Diet Action Plan: Based on the National Institutes of Health Research: Dietary Approaches to Stop ...32 reviews
Marla Heller

Amidon Press, 2007

Back to basics
A dietician recommended this diet, and specifically mentioned this book. At first glance, the DASH diet was difficult to understand until I flipped through and found that the 28 day menus all stressed portion control of foods from the food groups, and listed the portions per day of each one. Portion sizes are better descibed in Appendix C. Yes - dieting is difficult, but this diet follows what ...
  
  











  



  
Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition153 reviews
Dale Dubin

Cover Publishing Company, 2000

A must have
Nothing compares. Short, concise, very visual, and easy to reference. A terrific tool for the beginner or as a reference / review. Of the three to four books that go to the station with me every shift, this one gets the most attention.
  
  











  



  
CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2010, Forty-Ninth Edition (LANGE CURRENT Series)3 reviews
Stephen J. McPhee, Maxine Papadakis

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2009

Just what I needed!
This is my favorite book to study from. It gives you the essentials to pretty much any health related problem. Ok, so it's not Harrison's book of internal medicine. But it is small enough that I can carry it without getting a hernia.
  
  











  



  
Rapid Review Pathology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access79 reviews
Edward F. Goljan

Mosby, 2009

Dr. Goljan's the man!
This author is hilarious! If you've ever listened to any of his lectures, you'd know wat I mean. This book is great for reviewing all the pertinent subjects in path and covers everything appropriately. We use it in our PBL sessions and it's actually faster to reference things through it than the big books. It also gives you access to online USMLE questions if you buy the books with unscratched ...

This is one of the best of all the drug books available...simple to use, straightforward with all information needed on dosage, side effects, drug interactions, etc. I would not be without it, believe me! And, best of all, Amazon had it at a great price!
  
  











  



  
Get Me Out: A History of Childbirth from the Garden of Eden to the Sperm Bank1 review
Randi Hutter Epstein

W. W. Norton & Company, 2010

So much fun!
My best friend is training to be a midwife, and my other best friend is in med school to become an obgyn. Both absolutely adored this and told me I had to read it. Even I, who have no children and am not training to do anything involving childbirth, couldn't put this down. I learned so much, and laughed out loud. This should be required reading for all women. And come to think of it, men too. ...
  
  











  



  
The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care143 reviews
T. R. Reid

The Penguin Press, 2009

A Must Read and An Eye Opener
I highly recommend this book for all who have an interest in the health care situation our country is in, no matter where you stand on the issue. The author goes on a quest around the world, seeking treatment for his chronic condition in several developed countries. He contrasts and compares the treatment he receives. He extracts best practices from each country, and poses a recommendation ...
