Current Consult Medicine 2007 provides on-the-spot treatment advice for more than 850 disorders and the most common diseases, syndromes, and symptoms seen in hospital and outpatient settings. The unique, well-organized format is arranged by: Differential Diagnosis, Diseases in Detail, Diseases in Brief, and Reference Tables. In addition, Current Consult Medicine 2007 interlinks with The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy and The Tarascon Pharmacopoeia, which makes it three valuable applications in one.

The content in Current Consult Medicine 2007 is developed by the same expert editors and clinicians that wrote the bestselling, CURRENT Medical Diagnosis & Treatment, and this new, succinct PDA application successfully condenses this previous work and provides a concise, at-a-glance diagnostic and treatment guide to the problems regularly encountered in in-hospital and outpatient care.

"The perfect companion for the busy clinician. Not only it brings the entire content of the book to the palm of our hands (including high quality graphics and tables), it also delivers the excellent speed, stability, performance and features seen in previous USBMIS's programs in order to form a rock solid package no clinician should miss."
"Programs like this are the ones that truly make our PDAs indispensable in current clinical practice. In a just a few words: Outstanding!" - PalmDoc Chronicles

The figures are crystal clear, easily scrollable if too big, and make the perfect complement to the text presented in the topics." - PalmDoc Chronicles
