Hospital Medicine a big thumbs up
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book for my son who was just starting his career as an hospitalist. He has told me almost every day since receiving the book that it is the best book he has. He reads in it practically every day. It is his belief that it should be required text for residents who are studying to be hospitalists.
THE Textbook for Hospitalists
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a great overview of the vast subject that is inpatient internal medicine. The young specialty of hospitalist is one that has needed its own dedicated text for some time. This second edition is definately it. While there is still some slight fine tuning to be done, Dr. Wachter continues to do great work for us as the Father of the Hospitalist Revolution that is occuring. It goes without saying that Hospital Medicine is essential to the library of every Hospitalist, but should also be required reading by all Internists, FPs, and IM residents. This book brings together the various aspects of inpatient medcine from nutrition to the business of medicine to procedures and perioperative care. There are also very nice sections on critical care and cardiovascular disease as well as the vital role of consultation. My highest reccomendation.
Outstanding Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
An excellent reference for the physician who cares for hospitalized patients. Just enough detail to care for patients of every severity and type of illness, yet not so much that you are bogged down in unimportant trivia and esoteric controversies. The book is up to date, and the authors obviously know their stuff. Things like indications for ICU admission and indications for discharge make this book invaluable for physicians who care for hospitalized patients. Now if only someone will write a similar one for pediatrics....
