Review quotes

This is a collection of internal medicine pearls residents would focus on during their training, organized in a question-and-answer format with key points. The purpose is to help students understand the questions they are asked, and to provide some perspective for the questions clinicians are asking themselves. It is a daunting task to decide what questions to include, and the editor and contributors make these choices quite well. This is a useful memory jogger for all levels of students in medicine.
