I subscribe to the full Epocrates suite, and have never used the PDR. Built into this is the Dx section and a lab section. I think the Dx comes from 5-min Clinical Consult. It's nice for determining your DDx and ordering workup panels. For instance: do you remember the full workup for Hyperparathyroidism?
Calcium lab -> Interpretation -> High: ->
familial hypocalciuria (you can read a full description of each disease with an article thatis brief and concise)
hyperparathyroidism -> PTH -> lab, interpretation, etc
hyperthyroidism -> TSH
immobilization ->
malignancy -> lymphomas, leukemia, MM, SCC, metastatic dz
milk-alkali -> renal us, BUN, PO4, PTH, Cr, pH, venous
Paget -> etc
sarcoid -> etc
meds (a dozone listed)
This is excellent for Point of Care. UTD is great for studying and getting CME, but it's too bulky for point of care. I've used it since med school, however.
