Editorial Review:
Written by residents and interns at Washington University, this small pocket book contains all the essentials that every intern needs to know from day 1 on the wards. It presents practical, must-have information, from the front lines of the wards, in an easy-to-use, quick-reference format. The book brings together, in one condensed source, all the most important pearls from other manuals--including ACLS algorithms, useful formulas, patient notes, top ten workups, common calls/complaints, and key points on the most common problems. Content includes vital pointers on what not to miss, when to refer/call for help, triage, cross-covering, and tricks of the trade. The Washington Manual(R) is a registered mark belonging to Washington University in St. Louis to which international legal protection applies. The mark is used in this publication by LWW under license from Washington University.

Rating:  - Don't look like an idiot.
As an experienced clinician I was appalled to see a Death Note written by a medical student using the guide in this book. He titled it "Celestial Dischage"-- just as it is noted in the book. It was his first time, and he thought that was acceptable to put in a patient's chart.
If you expect to use a reference when you are either inexperienced, 3/4 brain dead after call, or both, don't risk your professional reputation on "cute."
Rating: - practical pocket book for interns
This book is all about overnight call situations that interns face. I'm an intern this year and I keep it in my pocket along with 2 other books: Sanford Guide and Pocket Medicine by Sabatine. There are plenty of books out there if you want to learn about disease processes and the physiology behind it all, but this is the only one I've found that has *practical* information. For example, tables of common prn meds, and how to approach cross cover issues. Great death note sample also.
Rating: - Helpful but overpriced
I thought that the book is very helpful on the wards and for my ER rotation. The book is concise and a quick read so it is best to read the book before the rotation starts. I read it so quickly that I wonder why the price is so steep.
Rating:  - Great book!
This book is very helpful for starting intern year and gives you really good advice for things to do on call. It also has good examples for admit notes, discharge summaries, common calls and common drugs. Great book!
Rating: - THE book
