Beers Merck, 2006 Best Book in the entire medical field This is probably a redundant review since all the reviews are 5* reviews, but I'll give you my perspective. This is the third copy of this book I own, the other two being previous editions. If I could own only one medical book, this would be it. While it has grown ~ 500 pages since the last edition I own, it's all good. Every topic is covered both succinctly and authoritatively and kept up to ...             Drug Information Handbook29 reviews Charles F. Lacy, Lora L. Armstrong, ... Lexi-Comp, 2004 wait, there's more Lexi-Comp's Drug Information Handbook is the bomb. No nagging adds like the PDR; just the facts, ma'am. More eye friendly than previous editions, and still packed with about a gillion tables in the appendix. Drug names are now in red. This is the cat's meow; I probably use it once a day in patient care. Shipping and price are much better through Amazon than through the publisher.             Intravenous Medications: A Handbook for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (15th ed)12 reviews Betty L.
