Mass Gen Neuro September 29, 2008
This is an excellent pocket resource for student neurologists. Outline format is succinct, clearly written and tables/treatment algorithms are very helpful. Some other, more lengthy, text would be a better resource for learning about disease topics at length, but this is excellent for formulating a DDx and treatment plan while on the wards.

First, a disclosure. I know and respect Dr. Flaherty.
I agree completely with the prior reviewers. This book aims at being an accessible, authoritative reference for trainees. It definitely achieves and even surpasses those aims. It is useful for non-neurologists as well.

UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE BEST 'RESIDENT FRIENDLY' NEUROLOGY BOOKS OF ALL TIME. BUY IT TODAY IF YOU DONT HAVE IT YET. USEFUL FOR WARD ROUNDS. OTHER USEFUL BOOKS / SOFTWARE I FOUND INCLUDE THE SOFTWARE NEUROLOGY TUTOR 1.01 WHICH I DOWNLOADED FROM www.peakdoctor.org AND ADAMS AND VICTOR (which you can find on amazon.com)
Best Neuro handbook October 1, 2002

This thin handbook is as indispensible as your neurology tools during residency training. It packs a lot of information in a tiny space and covers many topics. It does not have references or prognostic stats, but it will help you in DDx, basic management issues, or just simply act as a reminder when you can't quite remember details about something. I was pleasantly surprised at how much info is in this book. Highly recommended.

No other neurology handbook packs as much useful information so succinctly. I wouldn't be without it on the wards. Lots of imaging coverage. It also has relevant coverage of psychiatry, medicine, and neurosurgery.
