Preface

Have you ever been rounding with your team only to freeze when asked to come up with the differential diagnosis for GI bleeding? Have you ever been in the middle of a thoracentesis and strained to remember what labs you need to order to identify whether the pleural effusion is transudative or exudative? Have you ever struggled to come up with an effective visual way to teach your team the basics of internal medicine?

If you, like many other students and house staff, have found yourself in these common situations, then
Essential Facts on the Go: Internal Medicine
is the tool for you. These cards will serve as your high-yield reference for learning on the fly. They are especially useful to any medical student or house staff officer who is a visual learner. The visual cues will help you remember the essential facts you need in caring for you patients (and will impress on the wards as well).
