Product Description
The New England Journal of Medicine
"Although substantially smaller than the standard textbook, it is packed with information. The format consists of a readable rich text, supplemented by ample charts and figures...The material is presented in such a way that the reader is encouraged to think about the patient...The approach is not "cook book" but rather thought provoking in describing the process of arriving at a differential diagnosis and evaluating the choice of treatment...The subject matter is current, including, for example, discussions of the effects of divorce on the child, child abuse and neglect, sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents, and substance abuse as well as traditional subjects...The authors have designed this book for the student and house officer during pediatric training. In addition to recommending it for this audience, I believe it would be useful in the office of any busy practitioner as a source of ready reference. I found this "half nelson" to be well written, surprisingly comprehensive, and thought-provoking in its approach to pediatric patients." -The New England Journal of Medicine

Product Description
This book is a concise textbook of Pediatrics that focuses on what the medical student needs to know during the core pediatric clerkship. It achieves this by addressing the essential aspects of pediatric health and illness within the special educational needs of the medical student and starting house officer.
Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics has become established as one of the leading core textbooks for medical students, house officers, and residents in non-paediatric specialties. It is also widely used by nurse practitioners. The 4th edition will continue to be strong in its appeal to these groups.
This is not an abridgment or condensation of the Nelson Texbook of Pediatrics which is our primary clinical reference work in Pediatrics. Rather, the book was developed and written fresh with the medical student audience in mind.

Concise and well disponated.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics (Paperback)
Excellent book, if you need a basic pediatrics book. For more detailled knowledge, go on and buy the "full" Nelson.If you are a pediatric intern or student in Scandinavia, this book is a very recomendable alternative to Den Store Nordiske Pædiatri bog.

Good for the student, not the resident,
By F. Rabi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics (Paperback)
When I used this book during my pediatric clerkship as a medical student, it proved to be a reliable source of excellent information, seemingly perfectly directed at what most attending ask for during the rounds and conferences. It gives a brief synopsis of pathophysiology, etiology, diagnostic criterion, management and prognosis of all but the rarest pediatric ailments. The well-organized approach makes this one of the ideal books for skimming before an exam, and yet the details provided also afforded much information for those who are preparing for a lecture.Yet for pediatric residents (of which I am currently one), this book proves too superficial. I used it for a few of our monthly exams (when my internship labors gave me too little time to study our bible - NELSON), and I felt that it didn't quite deliver the necessary level. Not enough was mentioned about the syndromes that attendings love to ask about. Overall, though, I love this book. It makes for a good "bathroom read" for both medical student and resident, but where the student can take it back to his desk, the resident should leave it in the bathroom magazine rack for future visits. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Essentials Of Pediatrics,
By Daud Khan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics (Paperback)
I have been working as a Pediatrician in Pakistan since 1992. In Pakistan the Standard Text book Of Pediatrics is Nelson Text book of Pediatrics. But the most liked book is Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics. I have read all its previous edditons first as a trainee of Pediatrics and now as a working pediatrician. I think one should always keep with him this book and Harriet Lane Hand Book of pediatrics if one wants to remain current.Dr. Daud Khan 12 of 17 people found the following review helpful:

A quick reference for "essentials" discussed during rounds.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics (Paperback)
Although the intent of the publisher was not to make a "baby" version of the 5kg original textbook, they ended up by practically doing so, using many of the useful tables that the original text has. I consider it as good reading material for when you don't have too much time - or the upper body strength - to lug around the larger version of the book.
