Literally the best 20 bucks I have spent in my entire life!!! This thing is ridiculously good. The content is straight to the point, very uptodate, the app works crazy fast, functional even without connection, the material is very easy to use. The entire package results in the fastest high quality reference source I have ever seen. It will be particularly useful for residents as experienced attendings have all this in their head already. But if you are pgy1/2 on call, have a tough situation and dont know what to do, you can open this app and in seconds you have your essentials. The other day nurse called me about a patient spiking K of 7.4. I asked her to do ECG and while running upstairs I had my Ca carbonate and insulin/D50 doses. In similar situations Uptodate takes way more time to get specifically what you need. Million thanks to the authors and to the person who developed the app. Please update the content as time goes and dont mess the app up. And good job on explaining some management steps in parenthesis, helps to understand and remember. Thank you!!!

Easier to use and better organized than the MGH book, though not updated as regularly. But full of more useful point of care things, like capacity assessment flowcharts and tables full of antiarrhythmics and their dose ranges. Works offline unlike UpToDate. My most used inpatient medicine reference.

This is a very helpful app to quickly review topics. I would like to make a request to expand topics by default or have a setting to do so. For some reason the app can be a little glitchy and not open the sections.
