Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 10 1 2 Next » Decent pocket reference, far from comprehensive February 7, 2010 Jack (Terre Haute, IN) This manual is decent as a pocket reference while on the floor, but lacks the comprehensivity of a good desk reference. There are many common pediatric conditions (such as hernias, slipped femoral capital epiphysis, etc.) that don't even get a mention in the Harriet Lane. This reference is definitely made for someone who has some experience and background in pediatrics, since much of the information on the various conditions is written in a telegraphical format and assumes that the reader has a basic background in pathophysiology and disease. The best part of this handbook is the medication synopses (it tells you only what you need to know, not an overload of information like the PDR), as well as the information on emergency treatments and procedures. I would recommend this only as an adjunct to the Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, which costs about the same and contains much more detailed information on conditions for patients of all ages, and is much more comprehensive. I was surprised that the Merck Manual detailed many more pediatric conditions than did the Harriet Lane, even though the former is not even a pediatric-specific manual. The only downfall of the Merck is that it doesn't quite fit in a labcoat pocket. Harriet Lane Handbook September 22, 2009 Michael E. Hogue (USA) This book needs no review from anyone. It is the "bible" of pediatric care. My order was handled expeditiously and the book arrived in excellent condition in about 4 days. Very happy with the service. Great on the go reference June 4, 2009 L. Johnson (TN) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful One of my clinical preceptors recommended this and now it is my best reference! It goes with me where-ever I go for Ped clinical. Great Book February 28, 2009 Jason Prevelige (Fairfield, CT) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Super useful book for PA and med students! Gives a great run down of all the common conditions. The pharmacology section never steers you wrong in prescribing. I highly recommend! Excellent!
