Customer Reviews
Really good
OK, I wondered if this would be worth it, but I wanted a good reference for OB. I started on 3 months of Medicine and had the Washington Manual. It was a lifesaver for someone like me who didn't really like internal med. This is really good - I've been on L&D and the clinic and so far everything I needed to look up was there, so I didn't look too stupid in front of the patients. Some of them know more about what they have than most of the residents. At least with this I can be somewhat familiar with what I see in the chart before I go into the room.
I paid more than $50 for the Washington Manual so this price is good. And if it's updated like they say it will be even better. I don't have the energy to read the ACOG updates when I am home so hopefully most of the important ones will be in here. I do ultrasound next year and hope they add more pictures. So far they are easy to understand. Kudos for this.
Not worth the money
Very superficial review with not nearly enough information. Definitely not worth $50. I feel like I wasted my money.
Lower the price
It's a little pricy (hence the 3 stars) but I do like it. I love that the info is ACOG based. It's like having a compendium in the palm of my hand
