Pocket Medicine has been in the handheld
publication business since the early years of this
century and they are famous for three 'brand' names:
1- Pocket ... Series : these are small (in-size) ebooks which provide
quick access to clinically oriented information.
2- Treatment Strategies .... Series : where they concentrate
on the available therapeutic options for a particular disease and
how to choose among them
3- Checklist .... Series : this is just like the advise you get from a
senior colleague asking Did you consider? Did you check?
Did you do? ...etc
Many pediatric titles are there and they are all well
written and useful for
clinical ped practice.
There titles are also published by Skyscape under a
different name (Pocket Advisor Series)
