must have most recent addition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
other editions are ok for medical students but otherwise do not use this unless it is updated and the most recent available--just as you use the most recent Taragon Pharm booklets. Peds changes so much only an updated recent copy is worthwhile. A good quick reference, worth the price. Great for med students, Interns and Residents, or docs that do not do a lot of Peds--just in case!
Fast, accurate, great bang for your buck.

I'm a huge fan of all the Tarascon pocket books, and this one is no exception. While it's not comprehensive by any means, and you still need a hariette lane or other such coat-pocket reference, having this in addition will help you sail through the pediatric clerkship. You can find all kinds of emergent, urgent, and even mundane daily info in here, such as how many kcals/kg/day to feed a baby, how to replace fluids, what to do for DKA, basic bugs and drugs, and a zillion other super-important topics. It's well referenced and up to date, worth every penny and more.
At <$20, priceless...

Even if you carry a PDA, this little pocket sized wonder will eventually come in handy. Batteries don't last forever, and more than a few times I've had to drag out my Tarascon when someone else's PDA was DOA.
Used to always have this with me.

I used to have this with me everywhere i went. Useful for all pediatrics. Probably the best mini-pocket pedi book. You can put it in the chest pocket. Let a student who wanted to go into ER borrow it. Neve got it back. Bas-tard!
