Book Review: Doc's Little Helper
Summary: 5 Stars
If you can read small print, this is the book to have to carry anywhere with you. It gives LOTS of helpful info that other books don't without being big, bulky, wordy, or heavy. It litterally fits in the palm of your hand or a shirt pocket. There is a "large version" that fits in a lab coat or pant's pocket, but I like the little ones best. I carry mine with me at all times at the office and when on call. Simple icons tell you about whether the drug is safe in pregnancy and during breast feeding, what the drug costs in comparison to other drugs in its class, the drug's metabolism and excretion, whether or not the drug is available in generic, and the drug's DEA status (for narcotics/anxiolytics). There are concise tables that are extremely helpful. For example there's one comparing the potency of all the steroids. There are even a few treatment charts. For example, what to use for common STDs. By far this is the book I use daily to look up drugs. I've never been able to find a drug book that could replace this essential tool. I wish they made an alphabetical version too, as the drugs are grouped by body system and then class which forces you to use the index frequently unless you just memorize where everything is. If they did make an alphabetical one, I'd carry both in my pocket and they'd both fit easily, that's how small they are. The existing index is really nice too, because it not only lists the drugs alphabetically, drug page numbers, but it even tells you to look at the top, middle, or bottom of the page so that you can pinpoint what you're looking for in a hurry. Try finding another book that does all that! Not even the PDR tops that list of info! These guys really listen to their buyers too. If they think your idea will make the book better without substantially complicating it or making it much bigger, they add it in with the next version. This is the one book that I replace yearly, it is that good. They make a lot of other books that fit their niche's perfectly (e.g. Internal Medicine and Critical Care Pocket Book, adult and peds ER, etc.)
