An excellent resource for neuro, ED, and ICU nurses, too.

I am a registered nurse and I bought this book when I worked at New York Presbyterian's Neuroscience ICU. Although it's written for physicians on call, nurses who work with neuro patients will learn alot from it, too. It has become one of my favorite reference books. In my work as a medical writer and editor, I still refer to it often.

My on-call buddy!

This was a comforting book to be on call with! It fit into my white coat pocket conveniently so it went everywhere with me that first year. In the ER where it was always filled with people and not enough computers, I could easily pluck this out of the pocket for a quick answer. I glanced over at a review that complained that this was too basic. Sure I did not use it very much after my junior year, but this book was not meant to be a text.
This book served its purpose well while I was a junior resident, and I highly recommend this to other neurology junior residents.

Great for Medical Students

Can't speak to its quality for Residents, but this was hands down the best resource for the Student Clerkship and even the exam. In a nut shell, a basic guide for general management (i.e. practical information) and a wonderful accompanying section on selected diseases (i.e. Siezure disorders, Dementia, etc.). I've frequently referred back to this for random Neuro info on other clerkships; highly recommended.

Much of what I need while On Call

Excellent, very usefull and user friendly. Does not waste your time when you need to find information in a crisis. Not all inclusive but has all the big stuff and many of the weird and interesting things you will see in Neurology.
