Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Gomella and Haist’s Clinician’s Pocket Reference, 12e AB - Long time contributors and fans of the “Clinician’s Pocket Reference” will note the cover no longer identifies this as the “Famous Scut Monkey Book.” In 40 years of publication of this manual no one has ever expressed concern or have been offended by the “Scut Monkey” character portrayal. In our new world of heightened sensitivities, the term “Scut Monkey Book” is not a prominent feature in this edition. However, the historical references to the “Scut Monkey,” which has always been considered an energetic, fun, and positive symbol of medical training, have been maintained in the introductory portions of the book as well as in the back-cover image. The editors and publisher appreciate everyone’s understanding and hope we have made it clear the “Scut Monkey” is only portrayed in a very positive light.
