| Established for over 40 years as the Bible of the medical ward, The Washington Manual™ of Medical Therapeutics is now in its Thirty-First Edition and builds upon that proud tradition-with even more of the current information you need, with a focus on inpatient care, delivered in a timesaving, quick-reference style. This edition includes the latest facts on nosocomial infections, West Nile virus, and agents of bioterrorism; the latest management of AIDS/HIV; and current JNC VII guidelines for management of hypertension. Drug appendices have a new quick-scanning format for rapid information retrieval. Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

A perfec book for residents, is mostly treatment oriented and the Tx part is very practical, dx is oki howevere is very useful. by use of this book you can address your patient's problem very well than I can't say that there is any better source (I compaired this book with Merck manuel, Ferri, Current medical dx/Tx and manual of ambulatory medicine).

You must have this to know what to do when you start residency, when on call in the middle of the night to manage problems. The transition from student to resident is difficult. Ferris does not fit into your white coat as well as this slim, spiral bound sweetie. Other books I would get as intern would be Pharmacopia to carry in your front pocket, and NMS/Strong Medicine to pass step 3.

5 stars for what it's supposed to be used for:
Have used both Ferri's and the Washington Manual and would have to say Washington is by far tops (also Ferri's has unfortunately gotten so fat and its binder is terrible to boot!!). In terms of what to exactly treat your patients with and how to give it, as an intern this can be very nerve-racking. The Washington Manual helps lessen some of this anxiety with good recommendations and timely pearls. The Washington Manual is also nice for the quick jogging of memory as a more senior resident or for an attending treating easy or mildly-complex out-of-specialty problems. Nothing as of yet really beats this time-tested cook book like ole' Washington to get your bearings.
Once again, it's a cook book albeit a very good one. But obviously, as a chef is much more than the recipes he knows, it's assumed that the diligent clinician's "unwritten job" is to appraise the literature, read solid textbooks, go to conferences, use time-tested clinical experience.
The MGH blue / black pocket Medicine guide is also really good! Uses lots of new studies as evidence, excellent tables and algorithms, but doesn't cover as much. MGH and Washington complement each other quite well in many respects.
