Great little reference bookAugust 31, 2010 Michael T. Wallace(Florida) This book is a valuable tool for choosing and prescribing antibiotic therapies. I would encourage buyers to try to find this book in large print. If you have not seent the Sanford before the font is very small and difficult for those of us with bad vision. Be prepared to put on your reading glasses.
A Very Useful ResourceAugust 25, 2010 Robert Stone(Midwest / Ohio) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a practicing IM physician for the last 14 years and have always had one of these in my pocket since residency days. This for me is a very valuable resource and small enough to be kept available at the point of care. I have been waiting patiently for release of an app for the iPhone (which the Sanford site until recently noted was being worked on), and now that it appears that is not in the cards I went ahead and updated by 2007 version to this one.
I am pleased with the slightly larger print as my mid-40s vision for close up stuff is not what it once was and the organization of this guide remains the same; in fact page numbers are almost the same across different versions.
All in all, this is highly recommended for health care providers. If you are not in the medical field this would likely be of little interest as the guide consists basically of tables of recommendations for medications to treat infections, both the common and (thankfully) very uncommon.
