Nelson is the best
By Davor Bandic
This is the sixth edition of the Nelson that I bought from the time I had started practicing pediatrics, and as always, Nelson is unbeatable. It is a real pleasure to read it again and again. This edition is particularly useful as all content is available on line now, continuously updated, and moreover, in the significantly expanded extent than in the print edition.

Classics are called so because of something
By Gabriela Batista
Everyone knows Nelson is a must for Peds, this new update is no exception. I'm starting to read it, so far its perfect. Love the colours and new outlook. If I find anything worth noting I'll update the post.
