my single most valuable reference book
I do locum tenens (temporary) doctoring and when I go on an assignment this is the first book to go in my suitcase.I take it to the office with me in the morning and take it home at night in case I get a question that Ineed it for.It is clear, concise, comprehensive and as authoritative asany text can be.If you care for or prescribe meds to pregnant orlactating women, this is a "must have". ...

Excellent book for pediatric rotations/call
I cannot emphasize how wonderful this book is.It is an essential bookfor pediatric rotations.It contains admitting orders and things that youneed to think about for all of the common pediatric complaints and betterthan that, it's thin and fits easily in a lab coat pocket.I couldn't livewithout mine (I'm a pediatric resident). ...

Focus is on older models....
I purchased an HP 660LX palmtop - an older model, for sure, but the focus of this volume is on the even earlier, DOS-based units. Though much of the information "translates", all the screen captures are from the monotone screen, not color WinCE. The productivity tools referenced have all been replaced by the CE "Office" collection, so there is no guidance on these products at all (how to use them together, for example). Of course, most users are familiar with the Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook,etc), but if you are not, you will get no information in this book. The web links are still good, however, so there is some useful stuff in here. It would be great if the authors could publish a new edition. ... Read more

comparison to similar book
two previous reviewers have the opinion that this book is inferior to the book by kandarpa. After carefully reviewing both books, I believe that this is an understatement. Also, I wonder if the long laudatory review could have been confabulated by the author himself. If so this reflects poorly on amazon.com. fair
it is, as the first reviewer points out, quite inferior to kandarpa's gem.the prior review sounds like it was written by the author.

All Residents should own it
The book is very helpful from basics to advanced topics. This book can serve as the only book needed for IR training in residency and oral boards preparation for radiology residents.Has individual chapters on puncture of IJ, Subclavian v, femoral v, femoral a, brachial a etc.Has individual chapters on all interventional procedures commonly performed in private practice hospitals and most of the IR procedures performed in University hospitals.All authors are fellowship trained at prestigious institutions and are currently practicing IR and Neuroradiology at academic centers.Yes, Kandarpa's book is excellent and covers a some info not in the pocket radiologist book.However, Kandarpa's book does not have any radiographs or color illustrations and tends to have long chapters from which it is more time consuming to get the scoop on focused issues such as how to perform a cerebral arteriogram, how to puncture the RIJ and LIJ, how to quickly drain an abcess or place a nephrostomy, how to perform an epidural steroid injection etc.Also the coverage of venous access and neuroradiology topics is much more thorough in the pocket radiologist book than in Kandarpa's. The pocket radiologist book provides step by step advice to guide physicians for performing procedures quickly and safely. ... Read more

Not really necessary
The Palm Vx I bought was pretty easy to use, didn't need a book to figure it out.

An excellent guide to the PalmPilot
During my almost five years working for a national computer retailer, I became a major fan of Peachpit's Visual Quickstart Guides. Unlike the cretinous books for dummies, idiots, morons, etc, they cut right to thechase and are full of useful information presented in a clear,understandable fashion (besides, no dummy, idiot, or moron would own aPalm!). No jokes, no cartoons, just facts. These books are absolutelyperfect for beginners and intermediate users. If you own any version of thePalmPilot or Palm, you'll find this book a very useful introduction to thelife-changing device in your pocket, purse, or on your belt. As an earlyPilot adopter (128K!), I recommend this book unreservedly.

Palm III & PalmPilot Visual QuickStart Guide
Recently I purchased a Palm IIIe Organizer. The manual that came with it was a little wordy and not completely clear in some areas, so I bought Palm III & PalmPilot Visual QuickStart Guide. What a difference! The writing was clear, concise, and easily understandable. I also bought a couple ofother Palm books, but Jeff Carlson's is by far my favorite! ... Read more
