The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy, 2008

Must have. It is essential to have this book. The standard of antimicrobial therapy.

This book is the industry standard. Highly recommended, however, if you have Epocrates, use the ID part and it is comparable.

I work as a hospitalist in a busy community hospital. I use a commercial software product as a quick reference for other meds, but still stick with this classic reference for antibiotics and sensitivities. Small and lightweight, it doesn't take up much room in your pocket. Med students and residents in particular shouldn't leave home without it!

i have relied on this guide for good sense prescribing for common and uncommon infectious conditions for years; i'm almost lost without it

I have been using the Sandford Guide for years. This time I decided to order the CD to download on my PDA. Vane illusion. I couldn't. I tried the technical support. After about one hour on the phone, they could not either. So I asked the technician to please transfer me to a customer service's representative to order the book and return the CD but he coulnd't because the technical support is given by an independent company! End result: I cannot return the CD to Amazon, the Sandford Guide people are unreachable. I felt cheated by this clever system. I accepted that I lost my money and had no choice but buy another book.
