Book excerpt: Mnemonics for Medicine is an extraordinary 8.5 x 11 medical workbook containing over 200 mnemonics and other practical charts for learning Adult Internal Medicine. It is a "must" for your medical library, great for clinical rounds and studying for National Boards at any level. The sheer volume of facts to learn and memorize in the study of Medicine can be daunting. Dr. Gullberg is an Adjunct Clinical Professor in Medicine and has been teaching clinical adult medicine to students for over 30 years (to Medical, Physician Assistant, and Nursing students) and it is not unusual for him to deal with 25 different medical diagnoses while on daily hospital rounds. Winner of numerous Preceptor of the Year awards, he teaches students the importance of having a "differential diagnosis" of a medical problem at their fingertips. This book helps solve the problem of mountains of information and rote memorizing through using mnemonics. He has chosen the most common internal medicine problems in 12 main categories. Each mnemonic has an associated picture which will help you to visually engrain it in your mind. A point is included with the mnemonic for 'key point' emphasis. He has included his "Triples, Tetrads, and Pentads" and other charts to help review the numerous 'pearls of medicine.' This book is a huge help to learn the differential diagnoses for everyday medical problems both in the clinic and in the hospital.
