Don't show up for your shift without it., December 25, 2009 By G. Bass
10+ years out of training and still use it many times per shift.
Lean mean classic.
Faster info access than all the gimmicky PDA toys. And drop-proof.
In case of disgruntled patient, will stop a [small] bullet.
Almost Perfect, January 9, 2010 By A. Middleton
I never leave home without this book. I would have given it 5 stars but I noticed this edition lacks the plastic cover which I was accustomed to with my '08 edition. I feel the cover is essential to keeping the book protected all year long.
Best pocket reference available, PDAs are great but they can be slower when looking for an immediate answer. I highly recommend this product to everyone.
Still Good after all these years, May 12, 2010 By An Amazon Customer
I used this from 1993 until 1999. Then got out of the habit of using it for 11 years til now (2010).
It has gotten twice as thick as before, lol! But still very useful & small, lean & mean as another reviewer said.
I use a iTouch with Lexidrugs on it, if I need more detail (adverse reactions & percentages, etc. for more unusual drugs like infliximab, & such).
CONS:
1. needs a plastic cover, gets destroyed too easily. I would pay an extra buck for this. I had to make one of my own (cut a spare larger plastic cover down & heat sealed the edges).
2. the pages need just a bit bigger margins to write in (my old Tarascons, I wrote notes in tiny handwriting on the margin of the page, but now that margin is gone. Give me another 3-4 mm of margin to write a note in).
