Surgical Intern Survival Guide app for iPhone and iPad
This app is for all fourth year medical students and interns. Yes, it is called surgical intern survival guide but the content covers all aspects of medicine. This app is meant to make the journey through medical school and internship just a bit easier. The application can be used as a tool with everyday situations that an intern encounters , especially in the early months of residency.
We have a category called " Common Floor Calls" which covers shortness of breath, decease urine output, chest pain, etc.. Having this app when called to tend on these patients will make your night or day much easier.
We also covered documentation, . a few common dictations, common medications..etc

Pros and cons of Surgical Intern Survival Guide app for iPhone and iPad
Surgical Intern Survival Guide app good for
Great app! Just started intern year and found this very useful on call. Easy to use and very high yield!
This is a good resource for a beginnig intern that is cheaper and more portable than the equivalent paper pocketbooks some carry. The ability to edit/add my own notes would be killer.
Some bad moments
Do not buy this app. Quqlity of everything including the information and the format is very poor. It is actually an insult to buyers intelligence by the developers of this app.
Dont waste the money. Half of the folders dont open up and the ones that do the layout is too crammed into one page. Needs work
This app has a lot of potential. However, it is currently faulty and half the options give a message of being unable to be read.
Update:
The lack of updates and the still missing sections make me question the quality and reliability of the other apps by the developer.
I suspect that any of the reviews that state there are no problems with the app are from the developer or friends of the developer.
For the time being this app is not worth the money.
Bought this in preparation for intern year and sad to say it isnt worth the money. Consists of a bunch of PDFs with limited information on them (sometimes just 4 sentences about a topic!). This may have been marginally useful as a beginning med student but even then only for the first few days...
This app is just ok. It lacks many other formulas (such as fluid resuscitation) and there is no search feature, so you have to fumble around through the sections. Not worth $2.99 in my opinion. However, I would be keen to pay $0.99 for it.
