Pocket Medicine is the indispensable "purple book" found in the pocket of nearly every medical resident and internal medicine physician. Pocket Medicine: The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Internal Medicine provides the key clinical data needed for the initial diagnosis and management of the most common complaints and conditions seen in the hospital setting. Edited by Dr. Marc S. Sabatine and developed by the residents and faculty at MGH, this 7th edition continues the tradition of providing rapid-access, evidence-based medical information in a highly concise format.

About the Book

Pocket Medicine is famous for its efficient, bulleted lists and high-yield algorithms. This 7th edition is fully updated to reflect the latest clinical trials and guidelines in cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, hematology-oncology, infectious diseases, and more. The loose-leaf binder format allows clinicians to customize the book with their own notes or remove sections for lighter carrying during rounds. It is the ultimate tool for "surviving" a busy hospital rotation, providing instant answers for everything from EKG interpretation to acid-base disorders.

What You’ll Learn / Why Read

Pocket Medicine teaches you the "MGH way" of approaching a patient. You will find standardized workups for common symptoms like chest pain, altered mental status, and acute kidney injury. The book includes essential tables for drug dosing, antibiotic selection, and diagnostic criteria for complex autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, it provides the "why" behind clinical decisions with references to landmark trials. This handbook is essential for anyone who needs to make accurate, fast-paced clinical decisions on the wards or in the ICU.
