Useful books for the medical intern

The Ventilator Book by William Owens: the basics of vents in about an hour.
The ICU Book by Paul Marino: comprehensive, highly readable, and provocative; covers many practical and emergent aspects of medicine.
The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need by Malcolm Thaler: all the basics and then some in about two hours, I prefer this to the Dubin text.
ECG Workout by Jane Huff: 500+ practice strips building gradually in complexity, useful to follow Thaler with this.

Thieme Atlas of Head and Neuroanatomy: very useful illustrations, this atlas is written by clinicians
