| Reference Docs: |
| There are hundreds, but some are more useful than others. Here are some of my favorites: Marik's Current Medical Therapeutics Marik's Primer of Differential Diagnoses Beruti's Intern's Survival Guide Sample Floor Notes University of Iowa Family Practice Handbook Shipwreck's Go-By for Physical Exam Elbow, C-Spine, Shoulder, Knee Exam Jarvis' Lab Values Ophthalmology Notes Kistner's Gynecology Hemostasis These are just a few useful documents to get started with. There are literally thousands out there, which makes your Palm document reader easily one of the most important piece of software on your PDA. Get out there and look around; you'll find a dizzying array of medical references for the Palm. Some are free, some are not, but most are very, very good.. |
