  • Page after page of the Tarascon Hospital Medicine Pocketbook has been well thought out and put together factually and extremely easy to navigate! Well worth buying for any healthcare practitioner working in the critical care setting.

  • I am a newer intensive care RN . I picked up the Tarascon Hospital Medicine Pocketbook a few weeks ago. I use it a lot and have, on occasion, even sounded like I really knew what I was doing.  It is concise and so far has been very thorough.....exactly what I need when time is of the essence. Written for MDs/Residents I think, but definitely good for RNs too.

  • Dr. Esherick has organized an enormous amount of clinically relevant information in a concise resource that does indeed fit in a lab coat pocket. I am sure that this will improve quality of care as it brings together current clinical guidelines and evidence based medicine in a very usable, outline based format. I can't think of any common clinical problems that are not addressed in this book. A far cry from the spiral bound, heavy resource I used as a student. A perfect companion to the busy resident or attending physician.
