Pocket Medicine is my weapon of choice so far on my Medicine rotation, partly because it goes over some pathophys, cites some research articles, goes over clinical management and important labs/results.
Clinician's Pocket Reference has tons of illustrations and is really practical like: tells you what kind of top tube to use for what kind of blood lab, and has some overlap with Pocket Medicine, but not a ton. Some sections include lists of "most commons" which can be helpful. I've been using Pocket Medicine by Sabatine more, because I haven't really seen any procedures done on my rotation that I'd have to look up. It offers EKG interpretation and I sort of feel secure having it there, haha.
Clinician's Pocket Reference is also cool because it's got a big list of drugs in the back with contraindications and side effects and dosages and it doesn't run on battery. As I spend more time with it, I'll write more about it, but Pocket Medicine is sure helping quite a bit right now!
