I am a physician who has used Washington manuals for many years. I must say that the current edition has changed in ways that make it NOT a manual. This thing is over 1000 pages. It still gives one the practical step by step description of how to correct hypokalemia or how to manage ketoacidosis. It is still in there most of the time but the current manual tries to be a short textbook of medicine with a lot of pathophysiology. I enjoy pathophysiology but that is not why I bought the manual. The practical stuff is harder to find and should be moved to the front of each section rather than the end. It is sometimes missing from the end and that is a comment on the editorial oversight. The current Washington manual is evolving toward the Merck manual a somewhat defunct text. I can not imagine carrying this book around in my bag or pocket because of it size and weight. I suppose I will be subscribing to some web resource for my smart phone in the future.

This review is on the 34th Edition copyright 2014 "The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics".

I always liked the Washington Manual in book form but it has indeed gotten quite heavy and large (2.37 pounds and just over 1.5 inches thick) and is impractical to carry in a lab coat pocket. This is expected given the explosion in medical information over the last 2 decades since I graduated Medical School. What is nice about this 34th edition is that for no extra cost you get the inkling version that you can access on a web browser or your iOS device, (iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, there is a 2 device limit but that is reasonable). Other companies have tried to put the Washington Manual on a Smart Phone but in my experience only inkling has succeeded in getting this book into a very usable electronic format for small devices. The electronic version is well organized and searchable. I do miss the nomogram for tylenol toxicity that is absent from both the electronic and printed versions, a surprising omission.

How I use this product is to have the "Manual" on my hip (iPhone in a Nutshell belt case) and leave the paperback book version at home for more relaxed reading in my Lazy Boy chair.
