I have tried using this (also linked in another comment) and it does NOT work with mac. Neither does this. It seems like mac does not bluetooth connect to any kind of remote controller that I have tried for some reason.

I am currently using a mouse like this which is working well, but you can only program the 2 side buttons (good and hard). I would love to have a one-handed remote control with more buttons that wirelessly connects, but I haven't found anything yet.

Also I am using BTT to reprogram buttons, which has worked well.

Next, I am going to try a powerpoint thing like this and see if I can get more buttons working, but if anyone has anything else that works, let us know! It seems like lots of people have this same question!

I just ^(downloaded the book from) ^(libgen.io) purchased the book, and I didn't feel that it adds much compared to Pocket Medicine. Long answers to vague questions are not ideal to flashcard formats, IMO. Some of the frameworks are good, but he says in the preface (excerpt below) of the book that he didn't like a long list of differential diagnosis:

>I realized that having an approach to a problem in many cases is as simple as constructing a framework that divides the long differential diagnosis into shorter sublists, which are easier for our brains to store and process. Rather than memorize a long list of diagnoses, it is sufficient to remember the headings of a framework, from which many of the diagnoses can then be generated.

It turns out that the book just became another long list of diagnoses unless you use only the tips of the frameworks. Check this sample framework from the preface. Now check the same section from Pocket Medicine. As you can tell, very different approaches to clinical medicine. Getting a correct diagnosis (even a tough one) is not a heroic act; it is standard-care, evidence-based medicine. It doesn't matter if you memorize all causes of monoarticular inflammatory arthritis, because you'll most likely get a tap + pain characteristics + clinical epidemiology and get your diagnosis and treatment plan (often gives you the diagnosis in a retrospective manner). Being able to create differentials is one of the most important goals of medical school, and listing a long list of diagnosis based on simple frameworks sometimes is suitable for learning, but challenging to apply in a real-life scenario.

Having said all that, it only matters what you like and where you learn most from. The best Internal Medicine/Clinical Medicine is the one that teaches you most and makes you comfortable working and treating your patients. If there are no decks for this book, start slowly creating cards for you, as your necessity. In the preface, the author said that there were <8 frameworks that he had to use with a very high frequency (dyspnea, acute kidney injury, anemia, hypoxemia, diarrhea, fever of unknown origin, and syncope). Maybe starting with those will help you start building. All the best,
-Nick

Costanzo is really what you need.

​

It is a pretty easy read, and it gives excellent well-rounded basic science in a fairly easy-to-digest format.

​

If you want a second companion book, I would get "Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine" published by Lange, authors Gary D. Hammer and Stephen J. Mcphee. It is excellent, high yield for boards, and a great integration.

​

I own it, and it's one of the few books I actually used regularly besides Constanzo and Pathoma. The few bad ratings are typically from nurses, which makes sense... this isn't written for nursing students or NPs, it's written for MDs. The extra basic science knowledge we have (are supposed to have, anyways) makes the difference IMO.


Seriously, it's a great buy. The new edition comes out in 2 weeks, not sure if there are any major changes. I have the 7e, which is 56 bucks now vs the 86 for the new edition.

​

THis would be an excellent book to develop an Anki deck around IMO.

Just got this in the mail today. Was a little confusing to set up at first but it works great. Super small so I can use it anywhere. Works with my MacBook after installing a key mapping program (I used Enjoyable, but there are plenty of other programs).

This $12 VR controller + JoyToKey works perfectly for me on PC. There have been other posts about it. Might work for other platforms as well, not sure.

Edit: the program Antimicro also works very well

u/jbaby2020 · 1 pointr/medicalschoolanki

I know xbox and dualshock controllers can pair with the Anki app on the iPad, but have people tried connecting their joycon/ switch controllers and did it work for you? Does anyone use anything else that's easily compatible?

I'm considering buying a used or 3rd party joycon so I can do one-handed anki while on the treadmill. At the moment I use this, however it only has the functionality of hitting spacebar and going to the main decks page.

The absolute tits. $15, super long battery life, can type on it too if you need, very durable, good range.

u/Wikicomments · 1 pointr/medicalschoolanki

Recently bought one of these to use for better ergonomics and confining the controller all to one hand. Plus, it comes with 4 modes so I can quadruple the bindings from the controller itself.

Universal Wireless Gamepad VR Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKPTMWZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fXZTCbHZ6BCQC

Super cheap but works really well, I believe a fellow Anki user posted about using it a while back

That exists!

Also, I've been compiling an immunology deck. Obviously, don't wait around for it, but I'm hoping to finish it up in the next month, exam schedule permitting. It's mostly done, I just need to remove the notes to myself and racist rants before making it public.

THE standard textbook for Immunology is Janeway, it's what we used in grad school (neuropharm PhD) but it's waaaaaaay more detailed that what any medical student would need to know. Its well written and I guarantee you'll recommend the figures in the text from your plagiarizing professors!

The Link

​

I'd agree with the important difference, that at first glance, it doesn't seem to include explicit frameworks. Like this, for example

I saw this on another post. Also, I've been using my wii remote with an app called osculator which has been working well on my mac

u/Polar_Vortex_ · 1 pointr/medicalschoolanki

I bought the one below - not quite as expensive so I can’t say that the extra $20 won’t do the trick

BetterTouchTool with the BTT remote app might do.

Ive also used a powerpoint clicker with the buttons remapped using
KarabinerElements

Ive only tried this on macOS. Not sure about Windows/Linux.

Get a lumbar support pillow. Works wonders

Or get a portable table for bed


the downside is that studying while lying in bed makes me sleepy.
