I am a physician who has used Washington manuals for many years. I must say that the current edition has changed in ways that make it NOT a manual. This thing is over 1000 pages. It still gives one the practical step by step description of how to correct hypokalemia or how to manage ketoacidosis. It is still in there most of the time but the current manual tries to be a short textbook of medicine with a lot of pathophysiology. I enjoy pathophysiology but that is not why I bought the manual. The practical stuff is harder to find and should be moved to the front of each section rather than the end. It is sometimes missing from the end and that is a comment on the editorial oversight. The current Washington manual is evolving toward the Merck manual a somewhat defunct text. I can not imagine carrying this book around in my bag or pocket because of it size and weight. I suppose I will be subscribing to some web resource for my smart phone in the future.
This review is on the 34th Edition copyright 2014 "The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics".I always liked the Washington Manual in book form but it has indeed gotten quite heavy and large (2.37 pounds and just over 1.5 inches thick) and is impractical to carry in a lab coat pocket. This is expected given the explosion in medical information over the last 2 decades since I graduated Medical School. What is nice about this 34th edition is that for no extra cost you get the inkling version that you can access on a web browser or your iOS device, (iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, there is a 2 device limit but that is reasonable). Other companies have tried to put the Washington Manual on a Smart Phone but in my experience only inkling has succeeded in getting this book into a very usable electronic format for small devices. The electronic version is well organized and searchable. I do miss the nomogram for tylenol toxicity that is absent from both the electronic and printed versions, a surprising omission.How I use this product is to have the "Manual" on my hip (iPhone in a Nutshell belt case) and leave the paperback book version at home for more relaxed reading in my Lazy Boy chair.
I heard this is a must have for residency so I bought it. Honestly I haven't had a chance to read much of it because the book is way to heavy to carry around. Doesn't fit in the pocket. And it's not in salient point form, it's like reading a text book, might as well have made the page size larger and the print.
I bought it for the electronic edition, but unfortunately it's ONLY for iPhones :( Now it's just collecting dust, b/c it's way too large to carry in my white coat & I can't use the electronic copy on my android!! Ridiculous!!
The binding won't hold up -- I'd suggest get the spiral binding instead. On the other hand, it comes with a code that allows Inkling access to full text on iOS (probably Android, I didn't look) and web browser. No extra charge. So that more than makes up for the binding - hence five stars.Content is as it ever was -- among the best medical textbooks ever created.PS. Be sure to use your Spam email for inkling registration (you do have one, right?). Has to be legit email. I keep a Yahoo account for this purpose.
As a user of the older edition, our Washington Manual becomes bigger and heavier.You can only carry it in Pads or Phones online.I will read it online on train, or book at home, but I chose CMDT by its contents.
in internal medicine. i've used this book ever since i was a medical student which is over 20 years ago. i'd highly recommend this book for reference or review, depending upon your needs.
Great book...I avoided getting it throughout my medical student years because it was too bulky, only to find it is a great book and great resource for students and residents alike. Using it now as advised by residents and it provides good yet good understanding of concepts and the information you need for medicine. great book and I strongly urge you to get this and familiarize yourself with it."getting away" with just a review book will help you pass a test but this will strengthen your clinical skills and prepare you for your test as it provides practical information and why it is important.
