except the Clinical Medicine Consult, which has all 30 titles in one highly hyperlinked file that takes up 10.2MB
of space. These texts can also be read
on your desktop or laptop using the same palm/pocketPC
file with “iSilo for Windows”
(http://www.isilo.com/download/iSiloW32.htm).
The purchased version will NEVER expire. In the event of an update, however, the
updated version will. Again, the
purchased file does not expire. We generally offer a 50% discount (2 years
for the price of one) to purchase the next edition of the text (you get another
non-expiring text) if you purchase
within one year of your past purchase of the text. Purchasers are generally sent an email and
notified when your one year is about to expire.
Preamble:
This text is designed as a quick and
yet extensive reference for the diagnosis and treatment of the majority
of problems that may present in a primary care physician’s practice. It is intended to aid providers in their
pursuit of optimal patient care. This
book provides concise, quick information that can be used during a busy
clinical day with the goal of efficient work-ups, accurate diagnosis, and
effective treatments that hopefully leads to well-informed, healthy pt’s,
healthy families and a satisfied physician.
The information in this guide (the ultimate peripheral brain) has been
culled from peer-reviewed articles and manuscripts, key textbooks and review
courses published within the last few years.
The goal is for these texts is to have 95% of
clinical info you need at your fingertips. If you have any pearls,
illustrations or knowledge that you wish to add send it to us. If it is good, we will add it and send the
update back to you as soon as possible and subsequently include it in further
updates. If it is a major contribution,
we can prolong your update period.
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well
enough.” - Albert Einstein
Purpose
of the Book:
We believe this is the first and only
electronic textbook available that adequately summarizes medical information in
a concise and easy to read format. This
book is directed at practicing clinicians.
It is also useful to residents and medical students doing clinical
rotations. It includes differential
diagnosis, basic pathophysiology, clinical pearls,
physical diagnostic findings as well as evaluations and treatments of a
multitude of medical conditions. Our hope is to accumulate and share
information that will allow you to practice high quality and cost-effective
medicine. This book will also allow
primary care physicians to interface with the specialist, and assist in
deciding when referral is necessary.
MobiPocket Reader:
For MobiPocket
Reader Version: http://www.mobipocket.com/EN/eBooks/PublisherDetails.asp?PublisherID=50
If you do not
have the iSilo reader (costs $19 from www.iSilo.com), you may opt to get the FREE MobiPocket
Reader. This reader also is very
functional, supports hyperlinks and illustrations; however the compression is
not as good and thus the file size is slightly larger and updates are not as
frequent:

Mobipocket Reader 4.7 for PDA & PC
Free
Read eBooks / eNews / eDocs on your PDA (Palm)
& your PC
(PalmOS, Windows CE, PocketPC, SymbianOs, Franklin eBookMan and Windows)
Downloading the Mobipocket
Reader on your PDA gives you a free 14-day trial of the Mobipocket
Reader Pro. After 14 days, you can either purchase a license of the Pro version
or continue using the free Standard version to read ebooks
on your PDA.

Mobipocket Reader Emulator 4.7 to Preview your eBooks on your Desktop PC or
Notebook
For Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP
Free, but only can
read “free” books, not ones with digital rights management.
Version 4.7 of the Reader
application on your PC, for test purposes (emulates all PDA platforms), and for
reading free eBooks only. eBooks you purchase CAN NOT be read on your PC. Unzip
in a folder on your PC and double-click on MobibookPC.exe to launch.
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp
Troubleshooting: Everything needs to be exact with these darn
computers!
Step #1: After download, you need to unzip
the file (use winzip or other) into a SEPARATE folder. It comes as a zip file. The .pdb
document file is in there, you will need to use an unzip utility such as StuffIt Expander, which you can get for free from http://www.aladdinsys.com/ , to extract
the files. Then just install the .pdb to your PDA in
the same manner that you install other .pdb or .prc files. Then
double-click on it to add it to your hotsync.
Next: Install the files on your Handheld:
At the Palm desktop software and click the "Install"
button.
Or Drag or select the prc
and pdb files that you extracted from the zip file to
the Install window.
Pocket PC users drag the unzipped file into your
"personal folder" which is usually located under "My
Documents". HotSync your handheld to your desktop and this will install the
files.
#2: One common
problem is not having the correct version of iSilo.
The old version (2.58) will not read it, you need the
upgraded version.
You need "iSilo". It is a reader used by hundreds of medical
texts. It is the only reader supporting
hyperlinks, illustrations and compression.
It can be downloaded at iSilo.com or any palm/ pocket pc site.
You can check your palm to ensure that both iSilo and the clinical text are both on your palm. The text is read after opening iSilo.
3rd problem may occur:
A message about "not having an
application compatible with the file". It is usually because the ".pdb" extension was somehow lost from the file. The
Palm Install Tool uses the file's extension to determine what type of file it
is. The assumption is that files with a .pdb
extension are in the Palm data base format and thus will be installed to the
/Palm/Launcher directory. Bring the
blinking cursor and select the file, then add the correct extension to the
end. In summary, try renaming the file so that it
has a .pdb extension and then try to install it
again.
Similarly, the “.zip” may get dropped
from the file when you download it, making it impossible to unzip it until you
simply add the .zip back to the end of the file.
iSilo Reader:
You can download the iSilo trial and/or full versions of all the text programs at:
The pocket PC and Palm OS versions of either the iSilo Reader run on the SAME file, you just need the appropriate reader version for your
device installed.

Or
PDATopSoft.com
www.PDATopSoft.com
Just look under “medical” or
“clinical”.
If you choose to use the iSilo
reader, you need "iSilo" installed (demo
may have been included in the zip file you download) to read these texts. iSilo is a separate program (we
get no kickbacks). We use it because iSilo is a reader used by hundreds of medical texts. It is the only reader supporting hyperlinks,
illustrations and compression. It can be
downloaded at iSilo.com or any palm/pocket-PC site. Once purchased, they send you a registation number for their reader.
Link: http://www.isilo.com/
You can check your Pocket PC/palm to ensure that both
iSilo and the clinical text are both on your Pocket
PC/palm. The text is read after opening iSilo.
*****Please note that the trial version of iSilo is included in this zip package and that you need to
purchase a license for it in order to use it in registered mode beyond the
30-day trial period. You can find instructions for purchasing at the iSilo.com
website at <http://www.iSilo.com>". Beyond 30 days, the trial
version automatically transitions to "free mode" in which some
features such as hyperlinks and images, among others, will not be available. If
you are a registered user of iSilo you may be able to
get a upgrades to newer versions by sending your name,
order ID for iSilo, and registered email address to email@iSilo.com.
***Do not use
the “free” version of the iSilo
reader as it does not support illustrations or hyperlinks. I have no ties with iSilo, it is just simply the
best program available. It can be used
for other things such as reading any document on your computer on your
palm. To add this file to your palm just
double click on it after you unzip it and it will happen automatically next
time you synchronize. Once it is on
your palm, just tap on the topic you want to get info on and it will link you
to it. You can change the name of the
document, but essentially it is a read-only file.
One common problem is not having the correct version of iSilo. The old version (2.58) will not read it, you
need the upgraded version (3.0 or higher, upgrades via email@isilo.com.
iSilo 3.15
introduced "free mode". "Free mode" replaces "iSilo free", the previous version of iSilo
that was offered for free. Users can use iSilo
in "free mode" without paying a license fee, but features are
reduced.
If you do not register iSilo™ by the end of the 30-day trial period, iSilo™ automatically converts to free mode, which
allows you to continue using iSilo™ without
needing to purchase a license but with limited features. At any time
while you are using iSilo™ in free mode, you
can still purchase a license to convert it to registered mode.
In free mode, iSilo™ has the following feature limitations:
ˇ Hyperlinks, which make it much easier to navigate
through a document, are non-functional.
ˇ Images, which add visual richness to documents,
especially photo-quality color pictures, do not display, and in their place are
gray rectangular boxes that show where the images would be.
ˇ Color is not available. All parts of a document,
including text, backgrounds, and borders display in black and white.
ˇ Tables, which allow for two dimensional layout of
content such as tabular data, display in single-column mode.
ˇ Mixed font sizes, which are normally used to
differentiate parts of a document such as headings and content, are not
available. All text displays in the same font size.
ˇ Copying text to the clipboard, which can be used to
copy text from a document to other applications, is not available.
ˇ Bookmarks are not available. You can neither use
existing bookmarks nor add new bookmarks to make jumping to various locations
with documents easier.
In "free mode" if you click on a hyperlink,
you will get the message that the feature is not available in free mode. Also,
attempting to use bookmarks or attempting to copy text results in this message
too.
A registered user can also enter "free
mode" manually, which is useful for seeing how a document functions in
"free mode". Please see the respective iSilo
manual for the platform you are using for information about entering/exiting
free mode.
If your 30-day trial period has expired and iSilo has transitioned into "free mode" and you
then register iSilo, it will automatically go to
"registered mode".
For more information about free, registered, and
trial mode, please consult the iSilo manual
documentation or go to this URL:

Basic
Tips on using iSilo:
Quick way to get to top of document (beginning):
Pocket PC user: tap “Marks” (located
at the bottom of page) and choose “Top of Page”. OR Tap the “page/ %” key (bottom
right) and choose “top of page”.
Palm User: Upstroke in the handwriting area (bottom left to top right direction),
then in the number writing area write a “zero” (circle,
counterclockwise).
“Links are faded on the Palm
OS”: If you have a
B&W palm: While viewing a document
in iSilo, in the "Options" menu, tap on
"Display...", then change the Color mode to Black/white (1-bit).
Set
Your iSilo Preferences: I personally recommend:
Tools --- Options --- Display: FONT -- small with
“absolute” or medium with
“relative”.
Text ---
normal.
Region: 1: Screen up (so
when touch top area you page up).
2: Drag (so you can
drag pictures or the screen around).
3: Drag.
4: Screen down.
UI: Hide the scroll
bar. Show the tool bar.
Bookmarks: set bookmarks to common locations such as the
“Alphabetical Index” or your favorite topic. Just go the location and select
“bookmark”.
iSilo will take
any document saved as hypertext and convert it to the palm format. For example, write a text document using microsoft WORD, then “save
as” a HTML file (save as “web page”). Next, open iSilo-Web
(icon should appear on your desktop after installing iSilo),
choose “add”, it automatically add it to your palm desktop, otherwise
click on the new file you created and your palm will recognize it and add it
next time you synchronize.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
MEMORY CARD Users:
All of the newer PDAs have expansion memory capability. If you are going to be
purchasing books, such as 5 Minute Clinical Consult, or using large databases,
such as Inforetriever, then you will need an expanded
memory card. You may use an expansion card to backup your internal memory.
Different brands of PDAs require different kinds of expansion memory.
Sony requires Sony Memory Stick
Palm requires Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia Cards
(MMC).
Handspring Treo 90 requires Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia
Cards (MMC).
Secure Digital allows you to write data to it, whereas the MultiMedia
is for reference only. SD is the recommended choice.
The expansion memory comes in a variety of sizes, ranging from 16mb to 256mb,
and higher. A minimum recommendation is 128mb.
Using expansion memory can be tricky. The following are
instructions produced to aid in use of expansion memory. As time goes on, the
process will probably get easier.
Here are the possible options about memory cards.
1. You can use the PDA/ Palm Install Tool to install the
document to your card during the next HotSync.
2. Use a memory card reader from your desktop PC to write
the document directly to the card.
Other: Is using the iSilo Reader, it
needs to be on the handheld at least during the period of update installation.
Then it can be moved to the card for memory saving. Why this anomaly exists I
fail to understand. If the above does
not work, you may need to delete and re-install the iSilo,
then re-import the clinical text file.
The easiest way to install files to the memory card is to
use the Palm Install Tool to add the file to install, and change the
destination to the memory card. If the
user has a memory card reader/writer and that's the way they normally transfer
files to their memory card, then they should copy the file to the
/Palm/Programs/iSilo/ directory of the card.
Note: This has been tested on a Palm m505 running Palm OS v 4.0. Unsure of the
compatibility with other PDAs or OSes.
Note: This has been tested on a Sony Clie
615C running Palm OS v 4.1. Unsure
of the compatibility with other PDAs or OS's.
You will need to download and install 2 freeware programs -
After installing, MSMount will
only show up in your Prefs icon:
FileZ will be an applicaton icon on
your home screen.
Using FileZ, create a directory called Palm/Programs/MSMount (only need to do once):
To move a file from your internal memory (PalmCard) in FileZ to the Memory
Stick (no name set):
Disable and Enable MSMount:
Try it out by going to your applications and running the
program you just moved. Ta Da!!
An example of how to get the file
to:
Expansion Slots (Memory cards, flash
memory):
Here are the
possible options about memory cards I have gotten from iSilo
folks in the past (you may need to ask them at email@iSilo.com if further Q's
on this matter:
1. You can
use the Palm Install Tool to install the document to your card during the next
HotSync.
2. Use a
memory card reader from your desktop PC to write the document directly to the
card.
Other: iSilo needs to be on the handheld at least during the
period of update installation. Then it can be moved to the card for memory
saving. Why this anomaly exists I fail to understand.
Other:
Here is one
solution a user sent to me for a Visor without enough memory to take the whole
program:
It might
work, but it might not. You have to be comfortable with the possibility of reinstalling
all programs separately.
Buy a 8-64mb memory expander for HS visor, Hotsync
then clear memory.
Put in the
expander.
Go to palm
desktop (newest desktop). Edit users - make one called temp install
Hotsync with temp
install.
Install isilo.
Hotsync.
Install
clinical bundle.
Hotsync.
Use file
manager (with 8mb) to view all.
Then move iSilo to 8mb.
Then move clin med cons to 8mb.
Leave a file
called "ToGoDB" if it is under isilo internal (this may relate to documents to go).
hard reset again
erase memory.
hotsync, choose original user.
let it work.
reset when
prompted.
you can delete
the "temp install" user using palm desktop.
If it won't work,
erase all and install all your OTHER programs separately.
Once you move
the isilo and clin refernce db to the expansion slot, you have
to delete them
from.
C:\palm\ . .
. . \backup
Or they will
be reinstalled and reduplicated and may confuse the palm.
Give it a
try. I'll bet you will like having it in a removable slot.

UNZIPPING:
For links to
all download sites and a free shareware version of “WINZIP”
decompression software (you can’t get this non-expiring program at any other site) go to
our site at:
Web: http://clinicalmedconsult.com/
How-To Guides:
Decompressing Software Files:
How ironic that you have to unzip the download in
order to read this help file.
The decompression phase often causes the most
confusion for users
trying to install
software to their Palm devices. This is usually
because
decompression requires additional software and utilizes a
variety of file
types that are often unfamiliar. However, the process
is not really
that complicated once you have the right tools and
understand what is
happening.
Software files are compressed to reduce their size
for easy
transmission over the
Internet. In many cases, if the files were not
compressed, they would
take hours to download, particularly for users
with slow
connections. Once they have been transfered, they can
by
decompressed by the user
back to their full size and ready for use.
File Manager (before
decompression)
The first step in decompressing software is to make
sure that you
have a
decompression utility. There are a number of alternative
utility programs
that will accomplish this purpose, but the one we
recommend is WinZip.
If you do not have a copy of this useful
program, click here
to download one (once the download is complete,
you can install
and start the program by double-clicking the icon in
your file
manager). If you already have a copy of WinZip (or the
utility of your
choice) you are ready to start the decompression
process.
WinZip Window
Using your file manager, you will be able to select
the file that you
wish to
decompress. In this example, we have gone back into our Palm
folder where there
is a file called 'games' (the file we downloaded
from the
Internet).
To decompress this file, simply double-click it. This
should launch
the
decompression utility automatically. If you are using WinZip, you
will see a window
something like the one depicted in Figure 6. This
window shows all of
the files included in the compressed file along
with certain
statistics about those files (such as the file size and
compression ratio).
In the toolbar you will see a button labeled
'Extract' (about half
way across). To
begin decompressing the files you will want to click
this button (if
you only want to decompress certain files you can
select those first
by clicking on them, but in most cases you will
want to
decompress all the files).
Extract Window
Once you click the 'Extract' button, a window will
pop-up that asks
you where you
want to save the decompressed files. You can choose any
location on your
computer, but again we recommend using a specific
folder for all of
your download files (here we are using a folder
called 'Palm'). You
can also create a new folder to contain only the
files you are
about to decompress. This will keep all of your new
files separate
from other files you have downloaded which will help
keep things
organized and easy to find. To create a new folder,
simply click the
'New Folder' button in the lower left corner and
type in the
folder name.
If you are happy with the location specified in the 'Extract to:' box
(in the upper-left corner of
the Extract Window), click the button
marked 'Extract'.
Your downloaded file will now be decompressed and
the resulting
files stored in the folder you specified.
File
Manager
Looking in the file manager, it is possible to see if
the
decompression was
successful, see that there are a number of new
files listed in
the directory. These are the files that were
contained in the
compressed file.
If the decompression was successful, you can decide
whether you wish
to keep the
original compressed file or delete it. If disk space is
not really an
issue you may wish to keep the compressed file just in
case something
happens to one of the decompressed files and you need
another copy. We
generally keep the compressed files in one folder
and all of the
decompressed files in individual folders named after
the main program
we downloaded
Pocket
PC Users Info:
The exact same file that is read on the palm is read
on the Pocket PC with either the MobiPocket or iSilo version of the text.
About the iSilo Reader | About the Free MobiPocket Reader
After
unzipping the file, here is one way to transfer the Clinical-X.pdb file to your Pocket PC so that you can read it within
iSilo:
Step #1: Make sure you have the correct version of iSilo: If you have a
Pocket PC, make sure that you first install iSilo for
Pocket PC vs iSilo for the
Palm.
Then you will
want to copy the Clinical Med File pdb file to your
Pocket PC's "\My Documents\iSilo"
directory.
If the "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory does not exist on
your Windows PC desktop, then you need to enable ActiveSync's
File synchronization option. Do this:
1. On your
Windows PC, start ActiveSync by double-clicking the ActiveSync icon in the icon
tray in the lower right of the task bar.
(Put your Pocket PC device in its cradle to create the ActiveSync
connection with your desktop computer AND/OR Double-click the ActiveSync icon
to get the Microsoft ActiveSync dialog)
2. In the
Tools menu, click Options.
3. Check the
Files - Synchronized Files icon.
4. Click OK.
The "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory should then be
created on your desktop.
You can then
open the directory, create the "iSilo"
directory within it, and then copy your documents to that directory.
PS: An
alternate to step #2 above: In the File menu, click Explore. This gives you an
Explorer type interface to the /My Documents directory of your Pocket PC
device. NEXT Double-click the iSilo folder. The iSilo folder
should have been created by the iSilo installer. NEXT Drag your document from your desktop
computer to the iSilo folder of your device. FINALLY The file is
read after opening the iSilo reader on your PDA.

This is simply the best and most upto
date medical database that I've ever used on my palm. The best thing is that
there is hardly any topic that is not covered. Every topic is reviewed in
detail with references to medical journals or other resources.
It has great images with so many topics.
I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those interested in internal
medicine. I use it all the time during our busy residency rounds and calls
and I don't have to carry any books with me anymore. I would have given it
ten stars if there was an option here.

CMC is fantastic. I have been using it for two years and
I would be lost without it. I can review the latest treatments on a disease
or get up to speed on a rare condition in a few seconds between rooms. The
quarterly updates keep CMC on the cutting edge.
02-Jul-04 by Jeff White,MD
I purchased the entire Clinical Medicine Consult after
first using the Cardiology module, which was very impressive. The hyperlinked
format is remarkably intuitive--I ALWAYS find the subject or information I'm
seeking without having to back-track or search again. The amount of
information is much more complete than my 5MCC, although significantly more
scrolling is required. Excellent resource to brush up on those clinical
subjects that one sees infrequently in primary care.
16-Apr-04 by Joshua Morganstein
I reviewed this application several years ago after it's first inception and thought I'd post something a bit
more updated. There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been noted by
the many reviewers before me. There is simply no other medical reference
available for the handheld platform that comes close to the thoroughness,
accuracy, clinical applicability, and usefulness of Clinical Medicine
Consult. The outstanding index feature, detailed procedures, as well as the
highly-referenced and regularly updated content make this a must have for any
medical professional using a PDA in practice. And, the price is staggeringly
low for a resource of this caliber. You'll use the Clinical Medicine Consult
more than all your other handheld resources combined!
01-Feb-04 by Jeffrey Shames MD
Very well written e-book. I have print copy of 5-minute clinical consult
which I have used in my office for some time, and I wasn't sure that the
transition to a palm-based program would be useful. I'm glad I made the
switch. The coverage of medical topics is very broad and in-depth, and the
hyperlinks make it almost impossible to put the darn thing down!
30-Jan-04 by Jeff Williams MD
I cannot count how many times this text has assisted my in the care of my
patients. I have found this text to be indispensable! It is the most up to
date, user friendly, concise and yet comprehensive text on the market. Having
the Clinical Medicine Consult in my pocket puts the fun back in practicing
medicine. The specialist who have contributed to
this text hold nothing back, which is very rare in current times. This texts
allows me access to evaluate and treat both complex and common complaints and
with so many usable pearls. It is a must for all who practice medicine! The
frequent updates are a plus. I cannot say enough.Thanks.
29-Oct-03 by David Pitts MD
After using this anything else is disappointing. This is THE program to have
on your PDA. All the info, all the pearls are here.

Dr. Weber has created
an extremely useful tool for anyone in the medical field. I am an
administrator and use this application to keep on top of what my doc's are
doing every day in the practice. It helps me to relate better. I find it
extremely useful as a reference guide. You don't have to be a doctor to find
use in this software. For doctor's this is a must!!! For administrator and
office managers the like ...... this is a great way to stay on top of the
subject matter. Thanks Dr. Weber!
29-Jun-03 by Maurice Bernstein MD
The amount, variety and usefullness of the content
is surely worth the price. I teach first and second year medical students and
I have found the program of great value to quickly look up the answer to a
student question I had forgotten or never even learned. Best of all, Dr.
Weber's updates, gives me confidence that the answers will be reasonably
current and accurate.

This IS the BEST medical software I have ever seen on a handheld device. No
with Isilo for Windows you can view Dr. Weber's CMC
on your desktop. Since purchasing this product I barely (if ever) look at all
my Skyscape software. If you only got the bucks for
one reference than THIS IS IT!
04-Apr-03 by Dr.Deborah Hilterman
Definitiley the most comprehensive and clinically based program out
there. I have trialled them all and since from New Zealand didn't want a program with too much US influence in terms of the drug trade names offered.
This suited me best. I hope that when my year is up Carl Weber and the team withh endeavour to make
purchasing future versions at a reduced price for those of us who have shown
support.

Having been in practice 20+ years, it is a pleasure to use such a comprehensive,up to date, fast,
and interesting reference as Clinical Medicine Consult. It is tailor-made for
my busy rural ER practice, and provides me with the answers I need on a
variety of topics when a difficult case comes in. Dr. Weber not only has
nicely addressed many of the little details I'm always looking up in
reference books that someone else has just "borrowed", but he also
has neatly included nuances about the latest common treatment regimens. The
program runs smoothly on my Palm m130 and the graphics,links and bookmark functions make it a breeze to
use. It is an excellent point of contact reference for any busy clinician.
25-Oct-02 by Jan Cornell
I've used this reference for quite a while now and I just wanted to write
& say it's the most complete and practical of any I've tried yet. I am a
bit of a reference junkie, and I find myself always going back to this as the
gold standard. This is laid out in a very functional manner, and the indexing
is superb. Consider me a believer. Jan Cornell, M.D.
03-Oct-02 by Victoria Abdelnur
It´s an extremely useful tool! Practical, complete. I use it
almost every day (for more than a year now) at the hospital. I´m a medicine student in her final year. I also like
that its updates come thru e-mail. Thank you for developing such a wonderful
product.
11-Sep-02 by Andrew Bowman
A wonderful product. I am the charge nurse in a busy emergency department and
have found this to be a great teaching tool at the bedside for patients and
myself. It is nice to be able to review a medical condition before going to
see the patient. Thanks Dr Weber!
02-Jun-02 by David Ragan
I have been in practice 15 years,
and this software is excellent. Practical advice, referenced, succinct. Now,
when studying a topic I read what CMC says first.Great
for hospital work; updates are a plus.
15-Apr-02 by Joshua Morganstein
Unbelievable!
Dr. Weber has continually updated this masterful, concise etext
with relevant, well-referenced information. I've been using CMC since it's inception and I am more impressed with each revision.
The latest, v2.2, adds a section on procedures (step-by-step!) as well as
various studies, their uses, and differential diagnoses for various abnormal
labs and studies. Outstanding!!! I look forward to each update and, because
it uses iSilo and words flawlessly from memory
cards, I never run out of room, despite the amount of valuable data Dr. Weber
packs into this thing! I have tried and purchased dozens of medical
references, utilities, etc. I can say, without hesitation or reservation
that, for the money, Dr. Weber's etext is
hands-down the best medical reference available for the PalmOS
handhelds!
14-Apr-02 by Roland Leon
As a defense attorney in the area of medical malpractice/personal injury, I
use this program daily in my law practice. CMC is the best medical reference
in the market--and I have tried them all! Thank you Dr. Weber for an
outstanding product at a reasonable price.
16-Jan-02 by John Tapp MD
I am a second year Internal Medicine resident who has been using this program
for several months. I find that it is indispensable and far superior to any
other references that I have on my Palm. I use this program several times a
day and the Index feature make this product very user friendly. I also
appreciate the fact that the program is updated and has current references at
the end of most topics. This program is well worth the price.
12-Jan-02 by Christopher Gn
Awesome!! I run a family practice with a heavy case load and this program
gets all thumbs up in terms of clinical content and concise practical
information. And its all relevant. I am constantly
being amazed by the amount of information and clinical pearls included in it.
It is an invaluable tool to me in my Family practice and its
like a hoard of consultants in my pocket! Keep up the great work!
12-Nov-01 by Matt Wilkinson MD
As a med-peds
resident, CMC is easily my most valuable medical program - I usually use it
several times a day and rarely ever refer to 5MCC anymore. It is outstanding,
thorough, current, and has a great index! Cheers! Dr. Weber has my full
support. Thanks!!
05-Nov-01 by George Valdez
It is well established that textbooks are several years outdated by the time
they come out. The Clinical Medical Consult series is constantly updated. I
have used the Palm OS for years, and am familiar with most every reference
text available. This one approaches ideal for its purpose - to be used on the
go. When I look through the text, I am able to rapidly find, learn and make
better-educated decisions. Indexes and hyperlinks bring it to a whole new level
of efficiency. I come away from this reference feeling like I made a quick
call to the specialist. Usually after a major effort looking through a text
or journal, I am able to cull a few useable tidbits that almost relate to my
question. Who's got time for that? And, on those times I refer to the
specialist, I can pose better-educated questions. There is no text that is
continuously revised and updated, which covers such a vast array of subjects,
at such a cheap price.
24-Sep-01 by Catherine Shoff, DO
This program is outstanding! I am a
medicine resident and use it frequently during rounds and morning report. I
am amazed by the wealth of information I can access now - it is easier to
navigate than the Wash Manual and goes into more depth too. Now that clinical
med consults is indexed, I can find what I'm looking for in seconds! I have
spread the word to other residents in my program and would recommend this
software to anyone who wants the most information possible at their
fingertips for a great price!
28-Aug-01 by Ryan Smith
I have been using CMC for a few
months in my medicine residency. I am amazed how a few clicks often gets me
the info I'm looking for, even right in the middle of rounds, or admitting in
the ED. This is the way of the future, and Carl Weber is ahead of the curve.
The text is fairly well referenced, and specialists apparently have edited
the text. There are things I've looked for that aren't in the text, but there
is an amazing amount that is present. The hyperlink function is great, and it
actually can search. I have it on a visor with the text stored on removable
flash rom memory. That way, it takes up nearly no system memory. This is
still slightly unstable, though, since one database file on iSilo has to remain on the system memory, and DON'T try
to edit anything on a flash rom.

I am a Family Practitioner in Austin, Tx. Have been in practice 17 years. I
see pretty much the full spectrum of diseases/illness including infants to
the elderly. The more I use this program, the more I am amazed at its
comprehensiveness and detail. It is well thought out and easy to use and
fast. The only program I use more is Epocrates and
I have a large number of programs I have been trying out (ie
5MCC/5MPC/Current Medical Theraputics/Common Simple
Emergencies/MedCal/Peddose etc). It works great
using MemPlug/PiDirect (I am using 64meg SmartMedia card). Dr Weber gets my vote for best full
spectrum medical program for the palm. Thank you Dr Weber!
04-Aug-01 by Ben Weilix
Truly an exceptional compelation! This progam makes my handheld invaluable. It is encyclopedic,
yet precise and up to date in how to manage everything from the emergency to
the mundane to the unusual disorders. Great work in creating this.
07-Jul-01 by C Worley, MD
CMC is a fabulous program! I have
tried the wash manual and 5-MCC and neither compare to the CMC. The
information is more relevant and thorough and much, much better indexed. It
is definitely worth the money- I carry no other texts (or reference cards) in
my pockets during rounds - an amazing feat for a resident. Everytime a new topic comes up during a discussion, I am
always amazed to find the answers (plus a great deal of "extras")
in CMC. It is a great program- I highly recommend it.
07-Aug-01 by Chris Lewis, RN, MSN, ARNP
This program is a marvel in my
practice. I use it every day. It incorporates detailed and thorough
information that I can access in a few clicks, and get what I need. The
detail is fabulous, and up to date with the latest in criterion for diagnosis
and treatments. I have recommended this software to my entire graduating
class of MSN students, as well as every physician that I have worked with. I
highly recommend this software to any and all in the medical field, from RN
and ARNP to PAs and Physicians.

"I
have purchased many other texts and find this to be the all-around best! No
other text has the succinct, complete and clinically relevent
material. Most are just a bunch of fluff and pomp. This one give unabashed and clear, concise workups and detailed
treatment options listing immediate references to evidence based resources.
This is the one all-around text to have in one's pocket for nearly every
clinical encounter."
extremely
good
mark hand from newcastle, uk, December 2, 2004
"bought this after reading other reviews. had considered 5MCC and others which seemed too expensive
and limited coverage of topics. i
work in A&E and am training for general practice, this proves to be
infinitely useful. the hyperlinks are superb. makes looking up any topic fast and interesting. top marks."
Excellent
product
A reviewer from Batavia, IL, October 14, 2004
"This
product has served me well both in subspecialty rotations as an internal
medicine resident at an academic medical center and now that I'm doing
primary care in the community. A truly unique combination of depth, breadth,
and accessibility of information. Also kept up to date with journal citations
of relevant information."
Forget
the rest Get the best ! (Not been paid to say this)
Chief Webmaster from London, England, UK, September 5, 2004
"If
you ignore the cosmetic issues, compared with its competition, this text is
robust, comprehensive and very usable. Its update policy (unless you
understand it carefully) can leave you with non-funtioning
software. Some may think it to be overpriced, but in balance probably not, if
you consider the range of topics it covers. No doubt, if you are looking for
an answer on your PDA you are most likely to find it here. It would be nice occationally to be able to transfer some of its contents
to a doc format for teaching purposes. The surgical component is somewhat
lacking. But in conclusion, if you are in clinical practise
or learning medicine and use a PDA to help you provide clinical information
then why have you not tried this brilliant resource yet?"
Excellent,
well worth the money
David A. Ragan from Metro Atlanta, July 5, 2004
"I
have used Dr. Weber's reference for years. It is accurate, and filled with
tidbits of useful information. Well referenced, too. I practice Family and
Occupational Medicine; it's my "go to" reference. Dr. Weber also
gives great customer service in the event that it is needed."
The one
reference I can't live without
Edwin Scott, MD from Augusta, GA, July 1, 2004
"I use
this reference (not just Clinical Ortho, I have all of them) at least five
times a day. It has saved my skin numerous times both in the office and the
hospital. It is way better than the Washington Manual, and it is better than
5 Minute Clinical Consult. Excedingly well
organized. The author has been most helpful when I have had a problem. You
can't afford not to use this if you are in Primary Care."
 excellent
product
D Lane from tucson,
arizona, June 30, 2004
"As a
primary care provider, this has been an easy to use in clinical settings as
such an excellent product. I'd rate it 5 stars, however, receiving updates is
problematic. As such I'm rating it 3."
Simply
the best
A reviewer from Atlanta, GA, June 8, 2004
"Hands
down the best Internal medicine program out there. May not have the bells and
whistles of other medical programs but more than makes up for it with
consistently the most useful and up to date information. I couldn't imagine
practicing medicine without it any more."
Wonderful!
Lloyd P. Hitchings,
M.D. from Newport News, Virginia, April 14, 2004
"I use
this every day in my practice and love the quick referral to other specialty
areas. This replaces many textbooks that I could not carry to my clinical
offices. I cannot imagine being without this on a daily basis."
2 Thumbs
Up!
B. Sills, MD from Fort
Smith, AR, April 3, 2004
"I
don't know how the author does it, but he has written a concise, but very
comprehensive medical resource for the Palm that is head and shoulders above
the "commercial" texts I have seen. Every Family Practitioner
should have a copy on their Palm. It's money well
spent."

Outstanding
Medical Text!
C Rhoades, MD, FACP from Portland, Oregon, February 24, 2004
This is
an outstanding product. The program is easy to navigate and very fast on my
clie, even when running entirely off of my memory
card. This text the most frequently used text in my PDA library (much more
useable CLINICAL info than Harrisons or the
5-Minute). Clinical content is solid, at least
once daily this text has helped me with disease management, diagnosis and
treatment to make me more productive (and smarter). Great job!

Fantastic!!
A reviewer from MD, Europe, January 25, 2004
It's the

Fantastic!
A reviewer from MD, Norway, January 24, 2004
After
just a few minutes I had come to a conclusion, this is the best medical referance software for PDA made EVER. This software
shouldn't have only 5 stars, but 10!! So much relevant clinical information
bundled together in such a way that this software deserves several
"medical Oscars".

This text
is a "must" for primary care MD's who use PDA's.
Chris Vincent, MD from Seattle, WA, December 9, 2003
The
Clinical Medicine Consult is well researched and comprehensive. References
are included in the text so you can always find the original source if you
need to. On my Sony Clie I also have the Merck
Manual, Washington Manual,
PEPID, MicroMedix, and 5 Min Clinical Consult,
but find I use Dr. Weber's text the most. Very easy to find info on almost
any topic, runs from the expansion card, and doesn't require "auto
update" software or multiple files. I have used it for 2 years, the
updates are frequent and easy to download (sent as an imbedded web link in
an email message). This text is a "must" for primary care MD's
who use PDA's.

Best
Value for Money
Dr Adrian Loh from Singapore, October 17,
2003
I
have used other medical software from "famous names" - at
great expense! But none of them compares. Dr Weber's CMC is intuitive
and user-friendly, suitable for both quick reference and serious
study. Other programmes usually are good
for only one or the other. The programme is
also friendly to the device, not taking up much memory in my Pocket
PC relative to the in-depth info packed within. And surprisingly -
the info is supported by useful illustrations! I am impressed with
how up-to-date the medical info within is; and although from the US,
Dr Weber has crafted an integrated text that can be used around the
world without bias. If you had to get one programme,
this is the ONE! Don't waste your money elsewhere!

Superior
Medical Application
A reviewer from Whiteville, NC, October 3, 2003
Dr.
Weber has created an extremely useful tool for anyone in the medical
field. I am an administrator and use this application to keep on top
of what my doc's are doing every day in the practice. It helps me to
relate better. I find it extremely useful as a reference guide. You
don't have to be a doctor to find use in this software. For doctor's
this is a must!!! For administrator and office managers the like
...... this is a great way to stay on top of the subject matter.
Thanks Dr. Weber!

medical textbook it is FAR SUPERIOR to another similar app that I
also bought. The latter is tedious and difficult to use on my

only in the clinic, but during hospital admissions/ rounds. Full of
very useful and easy to find clinical information. No other text is as
complete, useful and yet concise as this. Strongly reccomended.
I previously used the iSilo version that had
been out for years, but find the mobireader
to have many more options such as text size and better quallity illustrations. A must have for any
clinician! Keep up the good work -Pacific Primary Care.

Best medical text on the PDA market
RA. Smith MD from Pensacola, FL, September 25, 2002.
I have found this very useful, frequent updates, easy to search. I always
look to this text before any other source, even consultants. Very practical.
It's an excellent program
khiemlai@hotmail.com from Santa Ana, CA, April 14, 2002
docflyingace@aol.com from Chicago, September 1, 2001
It is easy to get detailed, practical info on most any clinical dz. It has
succinct reviews of not only the pathophysiology and physical exam finding,
but incredible detail of how-to work-up and treat
almost everything. Stuff even my attendings and most specialists
lack. I also use this in the ER and in clinic evaluating pts and while
writing admission orders and progress notes. It is full of detailed treatment
and differential diagnosis. It also has details of meds, labs and studies.
This new index has taken it to a new level, very easy to navigate. I highly
recommend this to any fellow or resident in internal medicine. It has much
more detail and a wider range of topics than the 5MCC or any other text on
the market. My only only complaint is that I wish I
had this a few years ago!
Ray Ralston MD from Seattle, WA, August 24, 2001
CMC is a fabulous program! I have tried the Wash manual and 5MCC
and neither compare to the CMC. The information is more relevant and thorough
and much, much better indexed. It is full of pearls by speacialists.
It is definitely worth the money. Everytime a new
topic comes up during a discussion, I am always amazed to find the answers
(plus a great deal of "extras") in CMC. It is a great program- I
highly recommend it.

I utilize this so frequently that I feel lost without this text on the

what any primary physician sees. It covers all the basics with incredible
subspecialty details on even unusual topics and physical findings. A must for
every resident and medical student as well. Dr. Weber and his team of speacialist have outdone any medical text on the market,
including those in print! Keep up the great work.
