After reading all the positive reviews I decided to shine some light on the reality and clinical applications of this guide. If you are a 3rd or 4th-year medical student this guide only highlights very basic information that you most likely already know and won’t find relevant. If you fall into this category please refrain from buying this guide as it would not give you an edge in any sense of the word, you are better off spending more money in a complete guide that contains relevant info. However, if you are a PCT, LPN, BSN, MSN or even an NP this guide could very well come in handy. This book is incredibly portable (weighs next to nothing) and fits perfectly into most scrubs and white coat pockets, My bf, who bought the book, thinks it is an excellent purchase for the price. If you are looking to find a guide with more pages and or references you would be hard pressed to get one at this price range, he would urge you to either make your own personalized guide or to save some cash and buy a higher end guide that would better serve its intended purpose.

List of Cons
1. The pages do not come laminated and are prone to be stained.
2. Some of the info is outdated/incorrect.
3. Small Print.
4. Cheaply made.
5 Only 10 pages.
6. In most cases info is irrelevant.

List of Pros
1. Cheap
2. Very portable fits in lab coat/scrubs 14x9cm (5.5×3.5 inches)
4. People won’t think you are looking at facebook while using this guide vs your phone.

The product description doesn’t include the contents so I posted them here.
