Here are some good things to have:
1.Dorlands medical dictionary
2.Harrisons internal med or cecils text of medicine
3.the merk manual
4. 5 minute clinics(ortho, peds, cardiac, clinical, many others)
5. some pharm programs like Mosbylx or MosbyRx or skyskapes AtoZ drugs
6. There are many other handy programs like a peripheral brain, pnemonics, memory aids, anatomy reviews, etc... For most of these you need a program called HandBase or another like it so you can run that software.
7. Patient Tracker is also good(allows you to keep track of all the important info of your patients)
8. You also need a program called iSilo to run alot of different software on your palm. There a trials of this and others on the net.
*. Many, Many, Many More. You can find all of these and more by just searching on yahoo for palm software. It isn't too expensive but it can add up. I lucked out and had a friend give me a whole CD with all of these. See if you can do the same. Good luck
