(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best internal medicine books

Not really any books to read, but learn the instruments and be focused. Anticipate the needs of the team.

Be super familiar with running a balloon pump. Try to be the expert of that machine.

Learn from the anesthesiologists about vasoactive drips, purpose, normal dose ranges.
Know what the invasive line numbers mean and where they are.

Be interested in more than just positioning, prepping, counting, and closing.

I work as a CVICU RN and scrubbed CV for several years. Its a super fun area to work in. You can be the best on the team with a strong knowledge base. When you gain that knowledge share it!!! See one, do one, teach one. Dont be a know it all, just look for opportunities to learn and opportunities to share knowledge.

I can recommend one book to you. Its intended to learn critical care basics, but it touches nicely on balloon pump, hemodynamics, invasive monitoring, and Swan Ganz. It will help you understand what you are dealing with. The surgeons and anesthesiologists will eventually be impressed by your interest in learning and you will be very successful. Plus you will be the BOMB at giving report to the ICU nurse!
Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series®) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496306937/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_6y.CDbC649HT3

I came out of a program with an unknown name, but those that knew it, respected it. we had an extremely high volume for surgicals and cytopathology. Its not all about the name. But the name helps. For one, you'll get more interesting cases. You are a referral site as a larger institution, and you'll be at a program with "experts" on subjects. (maybe not totally true)Another benefit of a larger program is usually money in the department. Whether its money invested into informatics, molecular, or manpower, larger programs will usually have larger budgets.
Think of sub-specialties now. Very common fellowships are cytopathology, hematopathology, and I guess some surgical subspec. like GI, GU, GYN, derm, soft tissue, and Breast. But there are literally dozens of different fellowships (I didn't mention any of the CP ones) to choose from and different places to do them. It does help if you are an internal candidate.

Visit CAP, USCAP, ASCP and join if you can. I think some of them have medical student logins or would be free. You can see some stuff about being a pathologist that doesn't involve histology from these sites as well. speaking of histology, go ahead and read this book

Join AMA and visit the FREIDA website.

I would encourage you to look at programs with at least 3 per class as a minimum.

most importantly, talk to your institution's residency program director for pathology. They will be a great asset.

I was actually torn between path and pulm crit care. I think it just shows that you enjoy critically thinking.

Well, the good news is that you will get training. They're not just going to throw you to the wolves. So you'll have some time to work closely with a preceptor and ask a bunch of questions. And it's great that you're already brushing up on vent concepts.

Honestly, I think the only way to really gain confidence is to just go out there and do it. Once you have a couple of ICU shifts under your belt, it won't seem so scary anymore. And hopefully you have coworkers that you feel you can go to if you're stumped on a patient.

For mechanical ventilation concepts, I'd suggest this book: http://www.amazon.com/Ventilator-Book-William-Owens-MD/dp/098529650X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462453163&sr=8-1&keywords=the+ventilator+book. It has very short chapters and is very easy to understand. Chapter 2 or 3 covers exactly what you're worried about: knowing when/why to make vent changes and what to do to solve "x" problem.

I always tell myself that I can ALWAYS bag the patient. If the vent is going crazy and the patient is in some kind of distress and I don't know what to do, I know that I can always bag the patient and call for help. And I have had to do that a few times. In my experience, most RT's are pretty good to each other as far as helping each other out. I hope you will be working with a good team.

Until more recently, it wasn't common to find books/articles on "how to do" psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The knowledge of how to perform the therapy came from the therapist's training analysis, which, going back to Freud, used to be the only requirement for becoming a psychoanalyst (cf. The question of Lay Analysis by Freud). However, there are now some "psychodynamic" therapies that provide a "how to" look at therapy using psychoanalytic principles. Two that I am familiar with are Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy or ISTDP and Brief Dynamic Therapywhich is a little better in my opinion. Glen Gabbard, who I like a lot, has also written a text that lays out some of the basics of psychotherapy from an analytic perspective.

Speaking of Gabbard, I highly recommend his text Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice. It provides an overview of some of the major psychoanalytic theories (drive, ego, object, self). Unfortunately he doesn't cover Lacan, and briefly touches on intersubjectivity. Another book in this vein (without the diagnostic applications) is Freud and Beyond by Stephen Mitchell and Margaret Black. Not to diminish Dr. Black, but Stephen Mitchell is really great. I recommend anything by him, especially Hope and Dread in Psychoanalysis and Relationality.

Finally, any recommendation on contemporary American psychoanalytic writing would be incomplete without mentioning Thomas Ogden, especially The Matrix of the Mind and The Primitive Edge of Experience. His more recent works are great as well, but a little more nebulous and might be less applicable to beginning psychoanalytic work.

Oh, and I can't help but recommend this little book by Owen Renik Practical Psychoanalysis. Renik is great, and I really enjoy is work, especially his thinking on "getting real in psychoanalysis." Though he is far from the traditional views of analytic neutrality and abstinence.

I'm amazed that you nominated him for "most evil person" on the basis of this one quote. Wikipedia's bio on him describes a man who "was captivated by 'the many mysteries of the brain'" and tried to further our understand of how it works for the benefit of everyone. Some excerpts:

> During the Spanish Civil War he joined the Republican side and served as a medical corpsman on the Republican side while he was a medical student.
...
Some consider one of Delgado's most promising finds is that of an area called the septum within the limbic region. This area, when stimulated by Delgado, produced feelings of strong euphoria. These euphoric feelings were sometimes strong enough to overcome physical pain and depression.
...
Other than the stimoceiver, Delgado also created a "chemitrode" which was an implantable device that released controlled amounts of a drug into specific brain areas. Delgado also invented an early version of what is now a cardiac pacemaker.
...
Delgado hypothesized that the [stimoceiver] method used on Paddy [the chimpanzee] could be used on others to stop panic attacks, seizures, and other disorders controlled by certain signals within the brain.

I don't think that he meant by "political control" any kind of authoritarian mind control of the populace, like something out of dystopian SF. People in this thread are bringing up CIA programs like MKULTRA, but I see no mention that Delgado agreed with or was involved in those programs. It sounds more like a proposal for a more humane alternative to prisons and asylums: instead of locking someone up for being a kleptomaniac or sociopath or drug addict, fix their brains instead and let them free.

I haven't read his book Physical Control of the Mind: Toward a Psychocivilised Society (although it's now on my reading list), but here's a blurb:

> In this Delgado has discussed how we have managed to tame and civilize our surrounding nature. Now it was time to civilize our inner being. ... The tone of the book was challenging and the philosophical speculations went beyond the data. However, the intent was benevolent to encourage less cruel, happier, better man.

And from an Amazon review:

> Dr. Delgado was one of the pioneers of deep brain stimulation research, a technology that is used today to reduce suffering in cases of chronic pain, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. It never was and is not today capable of turning people into the mind-controlled automatons found in sci-fi thrillers such as the Manchurian Candidate or the X-files. The book offers a lucid and concise description of Dr. Delgado's work up to 1969 and a provocative look at possible applications of this technology (from a 1960's perspective). A recommended read for any Neuroscience or Neural Engineering student.

I hope the knee-jerk replies here celebrating his death and hoping he suffers in Hell, as well as everyone who upvoted this to third-highest in the "most evil" thread, are just assuming "mind control = evil" and don't actually know who he was.

We need more people like José Delgado.

Edit: Physical Control of the Mind is available online. I highly recommend Chapter 21, "Ethical Considerations," as well as the rest if you're likewise fascinated by his work.

> In the early 1950s, a patient in a state mental hospital approached Dr. Hannibal Hamlin and me requesting help. She was an attractive 24-year-old woman of average intelligence and education who had a long record of arrests for disorderly conduct, She had been repeatedly involved in bar brawls in which she incited men to fight over her and had spent most of the preceding few years either in jail or in mental institutions. The patient expressed a strong desire as well as an inability to alter her conduct, and because psychiatric treatment had failed, she and her mother urgently requested that some kind of brain surgery be performed in order to control her disreputable, impulsive behavior.
...
Medical knowledge and experience at that time could not ascertain whether ESB or the application of cerebral lesions could help to solve this patient's problem, and surgical intervention was therefore rejected. When this decision was explained, both the patient and her mother reacted with similar anxious comments, asking, "What is the future? Only jail or the hospital? Is there no hope?" ... People are changing their character by self-medication through hallucinogenic drugs, but do they have the right to demand that doctors administer treatment that will radically alter their behavior? What are the limits of individual rights and doctors' obligations?

The BEST (in my opinion) resource for someone who needs to be spoon fed histology and pathology (raises my own hand) is Robbin's Atlas of Pathology. It is a very double-edged sword resource though, because it has much more than is just on Step 1 but if you know what images have yield it will walk you through why the images are the way they are. A good strategy I had was to look up in the book every image that UWorld presented me.

There is also an Anki deck full of Step 1 Histo floating around somewhere as well. It is super good for reviewing in the last couple of weeks.

Hi there,

Some suggestions for ya!

The Quest for Consciousness by Christof Koch. Minimal neuroscience background required, but the more you know, the more you'll derive from this book. Focused on illustrating how complex networks can manifest behaviour (and consciousness). Outside of Koch's regular pursuits as an electrophysiology, he worked alongside Francis Crick (ya that one), to study arousal and consciousness. It's a fantastic read, and it's quite humbling.

Rhythms of the Brain by Gyorgy Buzsaki. Written for neuroscientists and engineers as an introductory textbook into network dynamics, oscillations, and behaviour. One of my favorite books in the field, but it can also be the most challenging.

Treatise of Man by Rene Descarte. Personal favorite, simply because it highlights how far we've come (e.g. pineal gland, pain, and animal spirits).

Synaptic Self by Joseph LeDoux provides the fantastic realization that "you are your synapse". Great circuit/network book written with a lot of psychological and philosophical considerations.

Finally...

Physical control of the mind--towards of psychocivilized society by the one and only Jose Delgado. (In)Famous for his experiments where he stopped a bull charging at him through amygdala stimulation- along with some similar experiments in people- Delgado skirts the line between good intention and mad science. It's too bad he's not taught more in history of neuroscience.

I posted this in a different sub a couple days ago but didn't get much for response. Wonder if you have some suggestions, given that there are men and women here.

The gist of it being, I'm feeling very low right now about this supposed TTC thing. I know my circumstances are a bit different, and comparatively speaking we haven't tried for all that long. I find myself overwhelmed by grief and underwhelmed by the thought of ever getting another positive. I find myself wondering what my magic numbers are. How many cycles before I don't want to anymore? How many miscarriages can I ensure before I can't anymore? How do I figure out these answers?

Meanwhile it feels like my husband is at about the same place he was a year ago when we lost #2. The sort of yeah, its sad but it will be better. (Will it? Really? You think we'll get to leave planet-my-baby-died? I'm pretty sure it's lifetime membership....)

I wouldn't say I'm resentful, I'm just disappointed that he and I see this so differently and can't be better comfort to each other. I wish I could have his shoulder shrug it'll get better approach to it all. I wish he could understand just how broken and unsuccessful i feel after all this time with no result.

We talked a bit about this, last week. I told him how I wanted him to have a deeper understanding from a knowledge point of view. Mainly so that when we go to our infertility/repeat miscarriage appointment, he can understand and contribute to the discussion. Because I expect I'll be in tears within a minute, and too upset to remember anything or answer anything.


So now that we're on that page, I have to figure out what I would like him to read. Not Broken was excellent and I think gives a good overview of everything....

Does anyone else have suggestions? What was a must read for your partner, for you??



What else can I suggest that might be shorter or different that will help him understand this journey?

https://www.cvphysiology.com

This website is really useful for all things cardiology. Basically a textbook and pretty in-depth but all inclusive. We used this as my school(not the school the author is from) and most lectures were based on it. Really well done for understanding I thought. Didn’t even have to really study cardio that much for step 1. There’s a lot of info there so if it’s too much you can always just use it to dig deeper into what you’re struggling with.

While not free, I thought this book was fantastic for EKG’s: https://www.amazon.com/Only-Book-Youll-Ever-Need/dp/1496377230/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541210064&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=the+only+ekg+book+you%27ll+ever+need&psc=1

I still reference it regularly during rotations and learned really well from the book how to get a system down for systematically reading ekg’s and what to look for.

Hope either of these might help!

We live in a society where people pushing products will say or do just about anything to promote their product. Of course, people selling bottled kombucha are no different.

Women were once sold infant formula because it was "sterile." Now we know the body needs what's natural.

Edit: Although I've not dealt with eczema myself, I've had a friend swear up and down that bowel cleansing is what cleared his up. Here is a book that might be helpful: Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management. Enemas can be used instead of colonics, and yes, the topic is very uncomfortable in today's society, however, decades ago it was better understood that there was a place for enemas and improving health.

I used AACN's Core Curriculum Review and nothing else. I figured what better resource than the one written by the administrators of the exam. I found it comprehensive and concise and highly recommend it. You can find it on amazon here. Good luck!

I asked this question while interviewing for psych residencies, best I've found is Gabbard's text. The first section is an excellent primer on psychodynamic theory, with lots of great historical context.

Your NCLEX should not cover much of the more advanced critical care questions. The NCLEX trains you to be a generalist. I used this book and chugged through all the computerized practice questions and did just fine!

If you are just looking to further your own knowledge, I'd recommend CCRN study books. Many, like this one that I used for my CCRN exam have online or computerized question banks that are very helpful. However, the vast majority of these questions are going to be much higher-level than those that will be on the NCLEX.

I would not use COMBANK as your only source to test your knowledge, but I find that it was OK in regards to difficulty and especially the style of questions asked. If it's a management question, just skip it and don't let it bother you. The multi-part questions were very accurate to the actual test.

Most of my classmates preferred COMQUEST for their questions due to theirs being "more difficult", but honestly, 90% of us went through UWORLD in its entirety, then did some of COMBANK/QUEST to get used to the shitty wording and format for COMLEX.

If I had any advice, DO ALL THE OMT QUESTIONS in both banks (if you have them) or any sort of paper review that you have. The "green book" as my class called it was pretty much my only study material for OMT. These are free and easy points, so don't miss them!

Good luck! I would also suggest you take the tutorial time to chill the fuck out and take some deep breathes. People say if they go right into it, they are so pumped up or nervous that they can't even keep a sentence in their head.

Okay Mr. Ignorant......since you must clearly be five years old......I'll hold your hand. I was providing you with a cliff notes....but if you'd like to read more, here ya go:

Shall I continue?

I second the Human Brain Coloring Book.
Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple is a really great add-on
http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Neuroanatomy-Book-Ridiculously-Simple/dp/0940780925
Not just for clinical - pathways are better presented here than in other texts.

Digital Anatomist and Dartmouth's Brain slices are great.

Try [Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management] (http://www.amazon.com/Tissue-Cleansing-Through-Bowel-Management/dp/0960836071). It's an older book that I inherited from my grandparents, but it's got some valuable information that is still very useful today.

I have the black version of Fractures in Adults as well as the accompanying single volume of Fractures in Children. Jupiter's Skeletal Trauma is also very good.

For hands, the two volume Green's Hand Surgery is standard.

But, the first thing I'd recommend before any of those is the Handbook of Fractures. Go there first, then to the larger books for more in-depth knowledge.

Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics (4-volumes) still gets occasional use from me as well. Had to dust it off yesterday to see where the myocutaneous flap from a hip disarticulation was supposed to come from.

Things I learned for studying.

1. Do plenty of test questions. I used AACN's study guide and Pass CCRN.
   
2. Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio's DVDs are damn good.
   
   I went through the whole Pass CCRN book, but in hindsight, that was a HUGE waste of time. If I did it all over again, I'd take test questions, then review specifics with the Pass CCRN book and do all of Vonfrolio's DVDs.
   
   Good luck to any planning to take the CCRN. It's a bitch, but manageable.
   
   Cheers!

Hi, /r/giantredwoodforest recommended I read this book about RPL: https://www.amazon.com/Not-Broken-Approachable-Miscarriage-Recurrent-ebook/dp/B06XTZW86Y
I just finished reading it and it gives you the pros and cons of using IVF as a treatment for RPL. I did skip over the eastern medicine chapters, but maybe I will read them again at another time. I will be using the book to help me decide if IVF is right for me or not. I am in a similar boat as you. I've had 3 early losses. I know this doesn't answer your question, but I thought I should mention the book. It will probably help you ask better questions during your IVF consult.

you mean rubin's pathology? good idea. that's more appropriate than the books i deal with. i personally deal with books from residency to practice, while that books is on the medical education side and would be more appropriate for an undergrad.

http://www.amazon.com/Rubins-Pathology-Clinicopathologic-Foundations-Medicine/dp/1605479683/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344551799&sr=1-1&keywords=rubin%27s+pathology

i can get you that book 20% + free shipping if you want

All right. I took that one on the side while working on my thesis. I'd say the tricky part is SPM; learning what to do, and when to do it. As I mentioned my data were already pre-processed yet I still struggled to understand what I actually had to do in SPM. It's a steep learning curve (at least it was for me) but I was doing it all via GUI since I'm wasn't that familiar with MATLAB prior to this. If you are, then scripting will make your days a lot easier.

This book is a good introduction to the underlying methods of fMRI, if you haven't already got that covered. Then I'd suggest you head over to the SPM8 website and try out their data sets and tutorials!

Every PGY-1 at my program gets a copy of Molavi which is a great intro text but is obviously more focused on surg path and less applicable to forensics. DiMaio has a good, affordable book that's more specific.

> He was a Dutch cook and flew to Shanghai to a factory where they had dozens of tons of PMK they couldn't sell because it had been recently banned. He put 2mil upfront he borrowed off the author of the book and had the factories entire stock converted into this new precursor and shipped a bit to Australia and the rest to Europe. The author of the book was an Australian cook the Dutch guy met when they were both in jail in the US a decade or so earlier. and thus since 2012ish onward the dutch have switched recipes to due access of safrole and have switch to this chemical instead as it is super cheap around $200 kilo non bulk (4kg) and (400) per single.

> There's an ebook called 'Pills Of God' on Amazon about one of the guys involved in the discovery of this process, it happened much earlier than 2012 though.

That is correct.

Funny enough, that method the Dutch chemist used was outlined in Strike's book Total Synthesis II, published in 1998. It's "Method #12" iirc. It was developed starting in 1938 and a patent filed for in the early-mid 1940's.

I recommend this book on this topic. It describes wonderfully how different systems of our brain perform Bayesian probability theory calculations, and communicate with each other using some analog kind of error-correcting codes.

I got Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy when I started my preceptorship in the ICU and I found it really helpful. And not too pricey or too massive.

Personally, I like Rubin's better than Robbins. To me, Rubin's has more readability all-around. For example the section headings within a chapter are big and bold and they highlight the takeaway point from whatever disease you're looking up. Also the pictures and charts are more digestable for me because I'm more of a visual learner. I like Rubin's Sixth Ed, but the 7th is currently out and you might want to try that one if you're worried about being current. Although lectures should provide the most current information.

Robbins Basic Path isn't bad, but readability again was an issue with me.

Rubin's Path

There's a lot you can do to figure out what would work best for you, but specifically for the OMT component of COMLEX, be sure to throw in a couple of read-throughs of Savarese: http://www.amazon.com/OMT-Review-Edition-Robert-Savarese/dp/0967009014

I did a majority of my self learning through the text books, and supplemented with mybrady, medic tests, and a couple of more advanced books like https://www.amazon.com/Only-Book-Youll-Ever-Need/dp/1496377230/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TN54Z1Z7N1PFDTFSKWFY

Former human neuroimager here. This is the best textbook intro to functional neuroimaging.

Robbins & Cotran Review Book has some great (and difficult) questions for pathology.

https://www.amazon.com/Robbins-Cotran-Review-Pathology-4e/dp/1455751553

Neuroanatomy made ridicuously simple has a good following but I haven't had neuroanatomy yet so I'm not sure what is good or not.

Im not a med student (respiratory student) so I'm not sure if this is quite what you are looking for - but I bought this book during my vent class and found it to be quite useful.

I loved the Robbins & Cotran Review textbook. Note also the review textbook is different from the basic path textbook and also different from the robbins atlas (which is exclusively histo and morphology & questions on the same) https://www.amazon.com/Robbins-Cotran-Atlas-Pathology-3e/dp/1455748765

There is no legal pdf of Pathoma.

I haven't gotten a chance to do more than skim, but I like what I've read of this book so far.

ask a local hospital if you can shadow an ICU RT for a day or two, i work with RT's all the time and have learned loads about vents.
Also this book is really helpful at least for basics "https://www.amazon.com/Ventilator-Book-William-Owens-MD/dp/098529650X"

Have you tried the Robbin's review? It has been very helpful for me.

Robbin's Review of Pathology or WebPath are good for questions.

And if you are interested in critical care, start learning your pharmacology, start learning how to monitor patients and recognize their pathophysiology. Learn about shock states and interventions. Take ACLS and really absorb the material, learn the drugs (and maybe your hospital will pay for the class). Use your resources.

Sure, you can buy it on Amazon for an ungodly amount of money.

...but the books were written using the material found in the forum.

> the point made generalizes to both authors. Sorry for the confusion.

True. For a few examples, see the Amazon reviews of TSII: https://www.amazon.com/Total-Synthesis-II-Strike/dp/096582912X/

The Ventilator Book is a solid introduction and is readily accessible to 3rd and 4th year med students.

Politicians must be knowledgeable on current events, and laws and policies that are in place or are being put up to vote on. So, that requires a lot of studying and gathering of information to be well-informed. As a graduate student, I also have to be versed in a lot of different information. So, my item is a textbook. All professionals need to read up on lots of different topics to be current on the topics in their field!

Go vote, kid.

Is this what you're talking about? Need to get some path review questions

The book by Fogoros is the standard.

I'm sorry about your RPL. I'm glad you're considering talking to an RE about it. I saw there's a new book that came out about RPL thought I have not read it: https://www.amazon.com/Not-Broken-Approachable-Miscarriage-Recurrent-ebook/dp/B06XTZW86Y

I don't know if endometriosis is associated with RPL -- it might be. Endo is nasty stuff, and they're finding that its impact is broader than previously known.

What sort of endometrial biopsy did you have before? What was abnormal about it?

Top Knife is a little above your level but is absolute gold if you will be performing any kind of trauma surgery in the future. The Ventilator Book is appropriate for absolutely anyone who will step foot in an ICU for more than fifteen minutes and will take about that long to read.
