Customer Reviews

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.

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.

Best friend on call

This is a handy handbook that quickly becomes indispensible when you are a junior resident on call. It helps you learn how to organize your though process in a logical, systematic manner. It covers all the neurological emergencies. Overall, it is quite useful for the neurologist in training.

A must-have for a med student on neurology

I am a medical student who plans on becoming a neurologist, and I carry this book with me just to have a quick reference to clinical information about the major categories of neurological disease. The book is broken down by presentation (eg ataxia, weakness, coma, tremor) and gives a quick overview that can be skimmed in 2 minutes, and gives specific management advice.The book doesn't give comprehensive info about any topics, but it isn't meant to...it's just the best way to make your way through seeing neuro patients in the ER or on call.
