Dr Ogre

This is a good book, easy to read, and full of useful information, if somewhat light on treatment

Review:

Useless for me.

Didn't like it. Didn't find it usefull. Tried to use it in neurology, wasn't too helpful. May be solely for neuro people or something. Same book size as my Park's cardiology, so fits nicely on my shelf. Other than that, useless.

Well-Organized

I just love medical texts that take the \"Signs and Symptoms Approach.\" That's how real medicine works. This book is no exception--while not a comprehensive reference by any means, it is very helpful in diagnosing childhood neurological conditions. That's why I recommend it for office use. For something more comprehensive, check MD Consult online or visit your nearest medical library. For something truly useful for your office, buy this book.

Review:

good for review ; handy for quick clinical reference

The format (signs & symptoms approach) of this text should be helpful for those who need to know where to start with a case. Text is brief and to the point. The long ddx lists would be great, except that they are in alphabetical order, rather than listing by frequency of occurrence or some similar relevant quality. It is the only decent, recently published pediatric neurology text of its size that I'm aware of, so is a good choice for those needing a quick review. With improved proofreading/editing, I would rate it more highly.

Perfect for residents

This is a very good book. The signs and symptoms approach makes this book quite easy to read. No, it is not a comprehensive text of child neurology. But, yes, it is an extremely valuable resource for residents rotating through child neuro.
