It is about a book for the interns (residents) of medicine created by interns. It appeared as a book of pocket even if the format does not make it possible to put it in all pockets. It treats a little whole, in a clear and concise way without being delayed on the details. This book is practical to acquire or understand the bases. Thus, the book treats anatomy, various anaesthesia, ways initially, clinical examination and various complementary examinations. The iconography is rich, but that it could be even more present to facilitate the training of the ‘‘young’’ readers.

Certain pathologies are carefully explained, whereas others ‘‘are flown over’’. In addition one little to regret the absence of explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques. But the principal advantage of this book lies in the simplicity of that Ci, which requires forcing to make choices and not to extend too much. Compliance with ethical standards Conflict of interest None.
