"I had a patient come in adrenal crisis in a pediatric ER where the nurses tend to believe the written word more than the residents. The nurse I was working with had never seen adrenal crisis and wasn't familiar with the treatment. She refused to give hydrocortisone to my patient with a blood pressure of 90/45 until I could prove to them that it was the right thing to do. Needless to say I whipped out PEPID. I'm so "happy " they were willing to trust an unknown source on my palm pilot over me....but at least they gave the kid the meds!"
Lisa M. Campanella
"Your program is great! It installed smoothly without any problems. I had so many problems with ePocrates that I returned it immediately. It works well on my Tungsten C. The CRC Suite is perfect for students in clinical rotations."
Henry Villadiego
"Your product is AWESOME!!!!! I was thoroughly impressed with the breadth & depth of information contained in the Pepid suite. It is easy and intuitive to use with simple menus & hierarchial outlined subjects. I have been searching exhaustively all of the medical software available today on the market in preparation for my clinical rotations. It seems to me that there are 4 main items that medical students doing rotations will need: 1) a drug database such as a PDR including one which incorportates herbals & alternative drugs, 2) a drug interaction guide, 3) some type of differential diagnosis guide which provides synopses on common medical conditions, and 4) medical calculators. Pepid's CRC incorporates all 4 in a single integrated suite in which it is easy to transition between subjects! If I were to purchase all 4 of these types of products separately I would have to spend over $400 and they wouldn't integrate with each other very well. Plus, your product has MANY help hints, memory joggers, and tips to make for successful rotations! Kudos guys/gals on a job well done & on product which is sure to help many thousands of medical students and improve patient care! P.S. The installation procedure was so seemless and quick that I didn't think it had installed correctly so I installed it again! To my surprise, it had installed correctly the first time & I haven't had any problems with it!"
Thomas Coffelt
"I am a second year medical student and have found the trial of PEPID very exciting."
Robyn Cooke
"PEPID is great! I just started my clerkship and it's been invaluable. Overall the program is fantastic and I'm recommending it to all of my peers!"
Jessi Minion
"One of my classmates found PEPID and was really excited about it. He told everyone that has a PDA in our class that this was THE program. I know of two more classmates that currently have a trial subscription. I spent several weeks researching medical programs for my PDA and PEPID is in my opinion the most comprehensive and useful of the PDA programs available. I also read multiple reviews of PEPID that gave it high marks for ease of use and comprehensive content. I will definitely recommend the PEPID for the incoming class of 2006."
Charles Pierce
"I really like the new version of PEPID, especially the new pediatric information. It has come in really handy this semester of school with my peds rotation."
Todd Makris
"I'm really enjoying my PEPID and so is the rest of my class."
Maureen Rihana
"I do enjoy my PEPID program. I have found it very useful in school and work."
Floyd Sanson
"I'm a new intern in the emergency med program at St. Lukes Roosevelt in NYC. I love PEPID so far and I'm talking it up to my fellow residents."
Shannon Rogan
"As a medical student I have already found PEPID to be useful in the few days I've had it. It's an easy way to find just about all the info I need for topics that come up during third year. This has helped me with SOAP notes for pre-rounds, case write ups/presentations and it's great to have something useful and portable - I can read worthwhile info whenever I'm stuck waiting or have a few minutes of downtime. I like that there is a specific version for med students and that you have thought about more than just facts (orientation to the hospital, balance, etc). I also value that you give key article references and other resources - this allows me to quickly round out my information and provide useful resources to others about the patient problems that arise. I am very pleased with your product."

"I am impressed by the program. It seems to provide the information a third and fourth year student would find helpful as they begin their clinicals. I have only begun to expore its functions."
Roger Wohlwend
"I think PEPID is an awesome product. I use it when preparing for my clinical rotations. Just last week I had to cite it for my med look-up because 2 of the drugs I was searching for were not listed in my drug reference book - but were in your latest update! I guess, from a student’s point of view, this has everything I need right in front of me to find info on my assigned patients. I am thrilled I found your site!"
Julie K. Martin
"I have been using PEPID, and have found it to be quite useful for me. It is novel in that it provides both drug and disease information, which is helpful. The multiple comprehensive references were a great benefit, for example the comprehensive approach to ECG interpretation was quite helpful during a previous cardiology rotation."
James Stewart
"I love the PEPID program and I have learned to depend on it!"
Rosanne Diaz
"I am quite pleased with PEPID. I use it on a daily basis during rounds and clinic work. I believe I save at least 1/2-1 hour daily using the resource. The best features are the user friendly format and it's thorough topic information. I was on rounds one morning and we had a patient with pancreatitis. I was able to quickly brief myself before being called upon by the resident. PEPID saved the day! Thank you for your follow-up. Your product is a winner!"
Michelle Wellington
"I have now tried 5mcc, PEPID, Merck Manual, MedScut Washington Manual and 'current medical dx'. I end up relying on PEPID all of the time. Each program does have its strengths, but PEPID is more reliable in its practicality and its quick search/contents."
Meghan Dunleavy
"I was referred to PEPID by a colleague. I do some rural ER here in Nevada and it is nice to have a solid reference to use when I am out there on my own. As a board certified Family Physician, I do feel more comfortable with PEPID in my back pocket. It also has helped me in Reno where I have a private practice and do hospital medicine."
Brian Passalacqua
"I am a Physician Assistant in a surgical practice. One unfortunate day while on call with one of my supervising surgeons, a patient developed severe airway compromise 3 days after a neck procedure and needed an emergent open cricothyroidectomy. This was successful and the patient survived without sequela. We had anticipated needing to perform this action if the patient was not able to be intubated. As your heart starts to beat harder & harder, your vision gets narrow while the fear factor gets you numb. It was nice to do a quick bedside review of Airway Management and review technique. I do know my emergent skills. I took ATLS a month ago, and am an experienced ER Nurse. But as I suspect you understand, it all goes to hell for a moment or two as you wise up. (My Doc appreciated the active input). I know I'll need it if I get deployed."
Nicholas Emile Fernando
"PEPID is awesome...I use it constantly in my ED practice...it is quick and practical ... it is up to date and user friendly. From someone who has practiced Emergency Medicine for over 26 years it is wonderful and I recommend it to all my colleagues and house staff. Thanks ...I had no problems downloading it or updating it when my subscription expired."
James Eutzler
"I have to say in my 26+ years of doing Emergency Medicine, PEPID has been the best thing since sliced bread (so to speak). I don't think I work a shift without going into PEPID several times particularly to the treatment area. The ease of going to an alphabetized index and not having to thumb through pages and volumes of a textbook
greatly diminishes my time to search for information."
Richard Dilio
"Especially helpful in the ER where we see a lot of real emergencies and you don't have time to waste to search for info like details of dosages of emergency drugs, and protocols.
Marvelous software!"
F. Van Rooyen
"I have started to use PEPID ED and found it to be fantastic so far, with all my queries being sorted out immediately rather than having to resort to large text books. It makes life a lot easier and more efficient. Once again, thank you."
Charles Willmot
"I just read your comments about the PEPID Drug Database being selected as number one for practitioners. You stated "Now there is no question about who is number one in practical PDA drug information delivery." There has been no question in my mind for YEARS about the value of PEPID, not only for the Drug Database, but as one of the most valuable tools I utilize in my practice. I have used the Emergency Physician Suite for several years, and it has almost completely replaced all textbooks. I bought a copy of the online version, in case I forget my PDA, as it so essential in my practice. I recently purchased the lab manual, and I have been very pleased with it as well. I say keep up the excellent work, because now you've spoiled us with such great products!"
Tina E. James, M.D.
"So far I have no problem and the program looks good and user friendly."
Olaniyi Ajisafe
"I am a nursing student and will graduate with my RN in May of 2005. I enjoy having your downloads on my PC. The downloads come in handy when I run into a new drug."
Kimberly Lievre
"Great job. Very helpful staff."
Bruce Campbell
"It is a very insightful program that I am still exploring. I have been a paramedic for the last 20 years and could have used this so many times in the past, but there was no such thing as PDAs when I started in this field, but I have been looking for a program that is helpful in many different aspects of the medical profession."
Joseph Mathis
"As a physician who has been practicing a number of years (and who's memory is not what it was in medical school), I am extremely pleased how PEPID, with it's instantaneous access to the core information of Emergency Medicine, has made me feel that I can practice my field as long as my health is good knowing that my knowledge base is still at the cutting edge."
Jim Broselow, MD
"Wow. It's an academic swiss army knife. A tool for every occasion."
Rose Haisler
"Just a quick note to tell you I love your product, I use the Emergency suite. I work in a fairly busy ED, with a high indigent population. It is so handy to just pop the PEPID up on my palm and get valuable info."
Nancy Howard
"THANK YOU for a GREAT product and a quick response to my problem. Your support staff responded quickly and with the correct fix. PEPID is working now and I will DEFINITELY pass the word around the ER about your product and GREAT support."
Mary Pat Cotter
"Thank you for an outstanding product, which is extremely helpful in my ER work. Well worth the price!"
John Brazzell
"What a great program. It saves me from looking up in a text book when the ER is on fire. Great idea to cross-reference information!"
Karrar Ali
"I am AMAZED at the comprehensive amount of information available. As I said in my comments, PEPID has much more information than ePocrates® Pro and 5 Minute Clinical Consult. I was a long time satisfied user of both of these programs. What sold me on PEPID was the side by side comparison tables of PEPID, ePocrates® Pro and 5 MinCC. I had no idea that PEPID was so comprehensive. It even has the Revised Trauma Score (my dissertation topic was in the area of trauma). I am faculty at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. I will definitely recommend PEPID to the NP students."
Janet Selway
"Thanks for a great product!! This is the second year I have renewed for my entire staff and PAs. I also bought PEPID Online as a gift for my nurses (Emergency Nurses Week, Nurses Week, Gift-for-No-Reason). So far they are very appreciative."
Larry Baker
"A must for all EM residents!"
Davis Clark
"I renewed my personal PEPID subscription this week (for two years). I am very favorably impressed with the things you have added. Keep up the splendid work!"
Doug Propp
"I'm very happy with PEPID-especially the accessory functions i.e. calculator, etc."
Rick Rutherford
"I have been using PEPID the last 5 years on a Palm V. I use it when I moonlight in civilian E.D.'s, and took it with me to both Afghanistan and Iraq. It is the most useful reference I have."
Steve Temerlin
"I have only had the PDA for about a month and it will streamline my life, professionally and personally."
Terri Huff
"It was easy to download the PEPID program. I think it is a wonderful program. It is all-inclusive.
I have shown your web site to several other physicians, PA's and nurses that I work with and have suggested that they buy your program. Many of the personnel in our ER now have PDA's and others are getting them as they see us use them. I work in two other ER's and have talked to those people as well. I don't go to any of my jobs without my PDA because it really comes in handy, especially when the books we have do not have all the new medications in them and at times it is too time consuming to call the pharmacy for information on a drug.
Once again, thanks for having such a wonderful program out there to help us do our jobs easier and faster."
Sylvia Rodriguez Reyes
"I work in a very high acuity high volume emergency department and use your software every day and really appreciate being able to rely on PEPID for reference."
Sonya Owens
"I truly feel that this program is tremendous. I use it everyday and sing its praises to other physicians on the medical staff."
Estil Strawn
"I am very satisfied with the PEPID ED, and now cannot be without it whenever I work the ER. I am recommending it to all my peers. Thank you for a very useful program; the patients stand to benefit the most."
Federico Gregorio
"I am always satisfied with your product and I have to admit that I could not function as well in my E.R. without PEPID."
Richard Belley
"Everything went great and I love the program!"
Kate McGill
"Very satisfied with PEPID. I used a very old version in the Army when I was a Special Forces medic on my old HP palmtop. The new stuff is obviously much better. Thanks for the effort!"
Mike Plessas
"Thank you for developing such a useful program for those of us who are pre-hospital professionals."
Roger Steele
"The download was very well explained and went smoothly."
Harry Grimmnitz
"I am very pleased with the new PEPID ED. I use it constantly."
Gus Raymond
"By the way, I loved the PEPID:ED program, it has so much useful information."
Gloriann Albini
"PEPID is the greatest thing since animal crackers. I use it all the time in my busy ED practice and would feel naked without it. It just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work!"
Paul G. Gill
"I do medical missionary work, I can't tell you how many times I use this while doing this work. On my last trip, which was to Mexico, two other physcians used it as well and now are buying a Palm device so they can purchase this product. I also like the fact the it is evolutionary and continues to improve in ease of use as well as scope of practice. Again, thank you for making a product that allows me to use valuable weight requirements for more instruments and medicines and less books. Your program is truly a gift from God. Thanks and keep up the good work."
Tom Dalton
"I'm very pleased with my purchase!!!!!!! I like Pepid way better than ePocrates®."
Glenda Equipado
"I've been an emergency physician for 27 years and have a passion for programming. I write medical programs (for free) in Visual Basic, and many of them are used on our computers in the department. However, I had increasing interest in getting a PDA, specifically so that I could use ePocrates®. I purchased a Palm Tungsten E several days ago, and Pepid completely blew me away! Forget ePocrates®. I will be registering the Pepid Emergency Suite shortly. The download was the first hint. Whereas the ePocrates® download of their trial version was nothing but a headache (I could never get their AutoUpdate to work properly), the Pepid download and installation went smoothly. I realized in under 10 minutes that this was a jewel of a program. The interface is intuitive and well-organized. The user is only a tap or two away from critical information, and the data is beautifully cross-referenced. Thanks to Pepid, my briefcase is suddenly 15 pounds lighter, as I shuck all those cheat sheets that I have been hoarding over the years. Congratulations on a spectacular program!"
Onik Arian
"Pepid is great! I work in a busy ER and it is wonderful to have so much information at my fingertips. I have been recommending it to all of my co-workers."
Yvette Kennedy
"Thanks for your attention to customer satisfaction."
Clair Denny
"It is a great product, easy to use and so helpfull for a busy physician. Keep on doing your great job."
Jean-Jacques St-Aubin
"It is a great product, easy to use and so helpfull for a busy physician. Keep on doing your great job."
Jean-Jacques St-Aubin
"The download was very smooth and effortless, and I am very impressed with the quality of your program, as well as the fact that you have an easily accessible telephone number for personal support! I recently cancelled my subscription to ePocrates® because of lack of ability to communicate with a "human" by telephone. You have an excellent product and I commend your dedication to quality! Thanks again for a great product."
James Walraven
"So you know, I have been using PEPID for several months now in my Emergency Medicine practice and swear by it. I have recommended it to all of my partners. Thanks for the great product!"
David M. Fisher
"PEPID is not just a good, but a GREAT reference for the ER. Most ERs do not have an adequate library at hand, and having PEPID handy fills the bill in supplying the quick data we often need. It's wonderful! Thank you, Dr. Rosenbloom, and thank YOU, PEPID team!"
Richard G. Spindler
"Recently switched from ePocrates® to PEPID ED and I have been very happy with the switch."
Philip Hubel
"I love the program. I was referred by a colleague and now I know why he likes this over ePocrates®. I love the layout, and the blue items lines and fuller explanation of syndromes. This will be a much more useful tool in my practice."
Helen Anderson
"It is far superior to ePocrates® and I am very pleased to have it available to me."
Reid Kincaid
"I am very pleased with your product!!! It is easier and more informative than Washington Manual or Harrison's!!!"
Eric Yoon
"Everything went very well and I am enjoying PEPID, especially the calculators."
Trish Murphy
"I like PEPID very much and use it frequently during my shift and as a general reference source. I have recommended it to colleagues and residents. It is clear that you have built the product around the needs and feedback of practicing EM physicians. I have watched the product evolve and improve over the past 2.5 years."
Laura Pimentel
"I really like the software and find it invaluable in the Emergency Department."
Keith Hepburn
"I do like your product and have used it almost daily during my shifts in the ED."
Tim Sturgill
"I work in the ER and the doctors recommended this program. It's great!"
Patricia Hartman
"I am very pleased with the ease of downloading PEPID onto my PDA. I am a PA-student and can tell you that the program has been very useful."
Mark Morosco
"Love the program! Often proves very helpful as I am a fledgling ED just out of residency."
Michael Boucher
"Thank you for your commitment to the profession. As an owner of several clinics, I appreciate your extreme endeavors and sincerely hope this is a tool to ensure practice efficiency as well as accuracy."
Mark Bollinger
"Thank you for your commitment to the profession. As an owner of several clinics, I appreciate your extreme endeavors and sincerely hope this is a tool to ensure practice efficiency as well as accuracy."
Mark Bollinger
"I am very pleased with the latest version of PEPID. In fact, after previewing the latest version, I subscribed for two years. I personally use PEPID every single shift I work, some shifts more times than others. Today, I had a possible case of Cat Scratch Fever with lymphadenopathy. Obviously, I recalled the organism responsible-- just kidding. That is what my PEPID program is for. Thanks so much."
William O. Mallow
"I have already realized its invaluable amount of clinical based information. Everything is concise, clinically driven for emergency medicine and right at your fingertips. It absolutely saves time. I look forward to using it further."
Micah Playman
"The program is the most comprehensive and includes a much better version of ePocrates® than other programs, and it seems to be more user friendly vs. 5 minute clinical consult."
Edmund Ko
"I am a new grad Physician Assistant, newly hired in family practice. I use your product daily, often for the "simple stuff" and haven't been let down yet."
Marge Bower
"I have just switched from ePocrates® to PEPID for my pharmacological data assistance. Thank you for your product and the friendly service that I have been receiving."
Willem DeWalla
"Just wanted you to know that I love PEPID. My Docs in the emergency room are trying to use it all the time. I have given them the site. It is so useful...It is so nice to tell my patients updated information about their drugs that they are taking."
Toni Trimble
"I would like to recommend PEPID to all of my colleagues! I think the MD/FP is valuable for family physicians - I wish I had it during residency!"
Ashwani Garg
"I am the only one in my Emergency Department that uses a PDA, and everyone looks to me to give them quick info from PEPID. It is the best product I have used."
Howard N. Bennett
"Our group actually purchased gift certificates for PEPID to give to our graduating EM residents. I dealt with Dona Hewitt and she was wonderful."
Kathy Valentino
"I am glad to know that people are beginning to take notice of the advantages of having reference materials at their fingertips and how much safer it makes patient care. I use my PDA with PEPID MD daily in my clinical practice and the calculators within the drug references greatly ease my mind when treating my pediatric clients. Even though my collaborating physician has a PDA with PEPID, he comes to me to calculate dosages occasionally because I use it so much! There have not been many items that I have not been able to reference on PEPID...I feel lost if I ever leave my PDA at home!!!! It is almost like my security blanket that I can have it there to reference if I need it!! Thanks again for developing such an innovative and handy product-it truly has enhanced my patient care!!!"
Karen Thompson
"I bought PEPID and 5Min ER consult when I had my PC and found I liked PEPID better. Thanks for a great product!"
Heather Hamilton
"I was so impressed with PEPID DI I have been showing it to everyone I know in EMS. As a EMT-B, we need to know as soon as possible to give the ED a heads up. Its better than arriving with a bag of meds and a unresponsive patient. The Drug Interaction portion of the program is worth the fee on it's own. PEPID EMS was my first purchase. My satisfaction with it led me to try PEPID DI. I am VERY satisfied with both. Thank you for your products."
Dave Hartley
"Have used for 18 months and keep finding opportunities to show-off. Now known as the source of instant knowledge in my ED. Thanks for your interest and excellent product - worth the investment."
Ian Jones
"and commend your company on cutting edge info technology. I frequently lecture to docs on PDA use in ER setting and will continue to sing the praises of PEPID."
Josh Schwartzberg
"I use [PEPID MD] in ER as well as office setting and commend your company on cutting edge info technology. I frequently lecture to docs on PDA use in ER setting and will continue to sing the praises of PEPID."
Josh Schwartzberg
"I have been using PEPID for a couple of years now and love it. I normally practice Emergency Medicine as a PA and it is an invaluable tool."
Joe Pappamihiel
"I have been using the PEPID Emergency Medicine program for over a week now. I work in a busy ER with a lot of internal medicine complaints - lots of CHF, CRF, diabetes, anticoag.tx, COPD, etc. I have found PEPID to be very useful. I especially like the drug interaction section. Most of the patients I see are on at least 5 or more medicines so this has helped me a great deal. The program is easy to navigate and laid out in a logical fashion. Thanks!"
Stephanie Whitmoyer
"I have been using the PEPID Emergency Medicine program for over a week now. I work in a busy ER with a lot of internal medicine complaints - lots of CHF, CRF, diabetes, anticoag.tx, COPD, etc. I have found PEPID to be very useful. I have used Griffith's 5-minute ER consult before and found PEPID to be more inclusive and geared towards the information I want to know. I especially like the drug interaction section. Most of the patients I see are on at least 5 or more medicines so this has helped me a great deal. I also like the pediatric section. I do not see a lot of pediatric patients so the information I need to know doesn't quite come off the top of my head. The program is easy to navigate and laid out in a logical fashion. Thanks!"
Stephanie Whitmoyer
"I am enjoying the product! I like having it in my pocket on my PDA -- I work in a rural family practice and see lots of same-old, same-old, but it is like words that are so familiar you need to look them up again occasionally. It is nice to do a double check on the familiar stuff, and to have a ready reference when they try to stump you!"
Connie Barnett
"I had a chance to use it this weekend in the ER with a woman with a mastitis that was three days post-partum and could be treated as an outpt . She wanted to know if she could breast feed and the information was there. It is already proving to be a great resource!"
David Bailey
"[PEPID] represents a new breed of all-in-one medical reference packages. PEPID endeavors to go beyond the "suite" of compatible products to provide a single, all encompassing reference for clinicians. Drug data, disease information, lab references, clinical calculators, even nutrition information and complementary medicine are integrated into this software. It's surprisingly fast. The program loads quickly and there are almost no delays while running it. The navigation is intuitive and the screen uncluttered. I have used PEPID for over a month now, and I consult it frequently. It is easy to use, and impresses other clinicians. My final assessment is that PEPID is a very worthy investment... It appears the company is committed to enhancements and upgrades."

"I feel that PEPID is a better program than ePocrates® and even when ePocrates® becomes PC compatible, I will stay with PEPID. Thanks again for putting together a practical program."
Clifford W. Matthews
"I am very happy with PEPID. I find particularly pertinent and useful the section of Drugs and Conversion Equations. For me that is the best comparing with others Palm products I have."
Albert Mupenda
"Yes, and I already am using it [version 4.0]! Love drug calcs for kids, and anion gap table! I go to PEPID first, for everything - now rarely use Epocrates or 5 minute clinical consult. I have a PA friend who was having problems with his certification exam - Couldn't find answers for many questions in his resource library when subtle facts were being solicited. Every question we pursued was in PEPID! Of course, he is now planning to purchase the product!"
Joyce V Mickanin
"I use PEPID ED constantly in my capacity as a Physician Assistant in the emergency department. It is comprehensive, easy to navigate and current. And, it is truly portable. It is a handy quick reference. It has a lot of information in easily available format. Thank you for a very good product."
Jeff Katchen
"Thank you so much for this incredible resource. I have purchased a lot of books but none are as easy to use when on the job. I supervise an emergency department in Switzerland. Last night at 3 in the morning my colleague telephoned me at home. A patient known for Wolf-Parkinson-White came to our department with stable but rapid Atrial Fibrillation of about 4 hours duration. He had Digoxin prepared and was going to inject it. Half asleep, I looked up PEPID, got the confirmation I was looking for in about 10 seconds and told him not to give digoxin. 300 mg of Amiodarone put the patient back into sinus rhythm."
Lorenz Buswell
"I use it all the time. I work at University Hospital San Antonio in ER and this is a very useful reference."
Timothy Ford
"PEPID is excellent. Handy reference I use for quick guides. I would most recently recall its help in looking up doses for Factor 8 replacement in a Hemophila A case. It was great!! Since I see this once in a blue moon it made transitioning the dose and calculation superb!! As Associate Program Director in a residency training program it is handy for quick teaching. I depend on it more and more. I use it on average 5-10 times per shift as a resource and drug reference check."
Steven Romisher
"As one interested in PDA use in medicine, I have tried almost every PDA source available. I believe your product is the best for quickly reviewing topics and making clinical decisions in the field of Emergency Medicine, primarily due to the presentation of the content as well as the breadth of content."
Trey Dobson
"I am happy with PEPID. I can't identify how much time is saved, but I now can "research" at the bedside with my Palm rather than leave and return later. I do general medicine and emergency room work as well and like that I have one resource for both. Recently I used it to guide me through an ethylene glycol overdose. It had it all from initial stabilization to the very expensive antidote...I did it all through PEPID!"
Menuccia Gagliardi
"I find it to be a very exceptional product. I use the drug interaction guide daily, as well as several of the medical calculators. The user interface is very intuitive and each reference is very concise. I would have to say that the product saves me at least an hour each day in research, and the drug reference is a vital part of ensuring effective patient care. I was very impressed that PEPID once again proved to be an invaluable clinical tool. Much appreciation for a fantastic product."
Robert Gillespy
"I opted to blow off ePocrates®, and renew PEPID. I have found, to my intense relief, that PEPID has info on a lot of drugs, so I don't miss ePocrates® that much, and I have some philosophical problems with ePocrates®'s business model, so I don't miss it that much. Anyway, I appreciate PEPID more the longer I use it. Nice work - no real problems."
Andy Kives
"I like your program and am comparing it with MobileEMS and ePocrates®. Neither of them seem to be as useful as PEPID."
Marc Baumgart
"I got the new upgrade. Great ER tool. I have used it quite a bit while working. Drug section just as good as any out there. Strong work."
Bill Gossman
"I like the product. I work in a very remote area in Northern Quebec about two weeks a month...the reason I bought it was as a tool to help in my practice. That way I don't have to travel with a ton of books... no fun on a plane."
Elisabeth Paradis
"I use PEPID regularly, especially when I am teaching family practice residents (1 ½ days a week). It does save me the trouble of carrying many books and pamphlets."
Bill Braun
"I practice full time pediatric Emergency Medicine and find PEPID to be an invaluable resource. On fact, I consider it as essential as my stethoscope. Good product!"
Robert Porter
"I'll be using it extensively in Pediatrics. I found it most helpful last night during my first clinical work in 18 months. It is definitely a very useful tool, especially with the speed and ease to access information."
Wilhelmina Engelbrecht

"You've done a very good job with PEPID, it is just amazing for me to have such a good, clear, and right medical information in my hands. So please keep going with this, you help a lot of physicians all over the world. In fact I am 43 years old physician, general practicioner, having my private practice in my home town Guayaquil, Ecuador. But also I work on board a cruise ship around the Galapagos Islands, then is very useful my palm a M130, and of course your PEPID."
Nelson Velez
"I have used PEPID in the remote past and then, as now, found it to be concise and succinct; a handy reference for clinical use and general review. The Drug Companion/DI, Alternative Medicine and Medical Calculators sections are especially useful. PEPID is quicker and easier to use than UpToDate (PocketPC version). I appreciate the absence of the burdensome copy restriction imposed by UpToDate. I have extensive experience in Medical Informatics and find this to be one of the better decision support products. You should be rightfully proud of your fine product."

"I think PEPID is an incredibly excellent resource to those of us practicing ER medicine. I know it has been literally a lifesaver for me. It is hard to imagine what it would be like to practice without it. As I just turned 60, I will be changing gears from knife and gun ER practice to my private Urgency and Minor Emergency care center soon."
Larry Wilcken
"The program is great! I love the PEPID system! I was using 5 min emergency consult. . . It's a good program, but it's no PEPID!!!"
Paul Tolon
"I used it during my Advanced Pharmacology course and loved it. Especially looking up meds and the P450 interactions."
Deborah MacIntyre
"Some of my colleagues tell me that your programs are the best. I am actually using them and I appreciate them. I am a general practitioner who works half the time as a family practitioner and the other half in palliative care in a tertiary cancer center, in Quebec City. I believe that we can be more accurate in our clinical work with this kind of program. Your program of drugs is clear."

"PEPID has become indispensable to me. I am the only doc in a 20 bed rural hospital with no consultants in house or even in town. I am continually amazed that I find references in PEPID that I couldn't find in standard texts. Great level of condensed information, just right for bedside checks. Excellent resource that you can be very proud of..."

"Your product is fantastic. Can't wait to show to some of my classmates, I'm sure you will get quite a few more subscribers. I also plan to show to numerous coworkers who have been looking for an all-inclusive ED reference and have not been happy with anything else they have seen. Granted I haven't had a lot of time to work with your program yet, but I am very impressed. I especially love the fact that it includes pediatrics!!! Most programs I have looked at have not been inclusive of both adult and pediatric information. Kudos to you, your product is fantastic!!!! Thanks again for all your assistance and quick response!"
Kellie Mahar
"I have been using PEPID for a year now and have been very pleased with its applications. I find it very easy to use at work and have even had little contests with my colleagues who have other references on their PDAs to see who can access information the quickest and who has the most useful and comprehensive information. I always win. I have promoted PEPID ED to my physician colleagues and have referred my EMT and RN associates to the web site to check out the versions available for them, as well."
Pamela Burlingame
"I am a PA-C working in public health, often without direct supervision. A good clinical resource with quick information (I see about 20-30 patients a day) is important. Thank you."
Joseph Hamilton
"PEPID... in my opinion is probably the best resource out there for really quick reference information in the emergency department."
"PEPID is kind of a virtual resource in the sense that unlike things like [textbooks], which are static for several years, and then they're upgraded in kind of "one fell swoop", these are upgraded fairly frequently. This is useful for us, because if there is a latest and greatest thing that's considered acceptable, and [the reference is] peer-reviewed, then it can be very helpful."
Pat Ray ACEP Scientific Assembly, 2001
"I use PEPID enroute to calls to review possible causes of what might be happening, I sometimes use it on scene to determine what some of the patients prescriptions are for and I also use it as a training tool. It comes in very handy."
Dave Levesque
"excellent software, great installer. Thanks"
Jan Mulders
"I love that it has common overdoses on prescribed meds I work in EMS and that is very valuable to me thanks for such a great product. I use PEPID often and it is a great program."
Tora Brown
"Dr. Rosenbloom: I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate PEPID. I am an Anesthesiologist (how I make my living) and a Fire/EMS/Air Medical medical director (my true calling). I have been in practice since 1981 and have been involved in Fire/EMS since 1985. My ER colleagues put me on to PEPID last year.It has been a great resource in the OR/ICU and in the field. Thanks for all your work."
Irvin Smith Mercy Regional EMS / PHI Air Medical
"I have been a paramedic for 30 years. I wish I had this many years ago. Keep up the good work."
Aaron Meyer
"Thanks for a wonderful product!"
Dean Dixon
"Great product - I would recommend to my colleagues."
Glenn E. Davis
"My medical practice is Anesthesiology and I serve as EMS medical director for three ground based services and we are developing a helicopter air medical unit. My colleague at Lourdes ER recommended PEPID to me. I wanted a quick, reliable and portable resource to assist me with my "on line" medical control responsibilities. I believe that PEPID will meet and exceed my needs."
Irvin Smith
"After having a sufficient amount of time to field test the EMS software after purchase, I can say PEPID is without a doubt the best PDA EMS software I have found! The PEPID software is the most inclusive and comprehensive EMS field guide I have ever used (either paper or PDA based). I have tried other PDA EMS software, and one in particular I had to immediately uninstall because it locked up my PDA. Further, while I spread the word about PEPID software to my colleagues, it is not unusual for other members of my team to ask me during or after a call to look up a particular ailment or medication. My PEPID EMS guide is invaluable."
Glenn Davis
"I really like PEPID, I am a paramedic an instructor of EMS education and I value your product for a field reference and teaching tool for my students."
Sylvia Davis
"I think PEPID is a great tool for EMS professionals."
John Bignell
"I must say that I am very impressed with your program. As a paramedic I did want to say that the EMS version did encompass our entire scope of practice. Thank you for developing the program and allowing all of us out have the free trial before making the purchase!"
Alan Emody
"I LOVE the program. I am currently a Paramedic student and I am pleased with the amount of info on this program. An E.R. doc showed his version to me and I had to have my own. I am anxious to show this to fellow students tomorrow at class! I have been using the EMS Guide and find PEPID much more user friendly! Congrats on a great program!"
Kathie McCarter
"I am an EMT and believe this will be an invaluable tool to assist me in training my fellow EMTs."
Christopher Kempson
"I am glad to have the opportunity to comment on the PEPID EMS edition. I have purchased several EMS programs for use on my PDA and PEPID seems to exceed the sum total of the others. I have been in EMS since 1986 and a paramedic since 1989 and this is the most complete program I have ever accessed. I find myself critiquing myself after a run and evaluating my own performance. In that sense I have an M&M on every run of significance. A lot of protocols have been changed since my paramedic school days and a lot of new trains of thought have been introduced and PEPID keeps me abreast of the new school. I can't say enough about the program. It is in my pocket every work day and is part of my uniform. I have a friend who was my EMS partner while in undergrad school and is now a board certified ER doc in Louisville. I have introduced him to your ER Physician program and he is checking it out now. Thanks again."
Rosemary Barnes
"Thanks for a great point of care resource."
Joseph Hamilton
"I was so impressed with PEPID DI I have been showing it to everyone I know in EMS. As a EMT-B, we need to know as soon as possible to give the ED a heads up. Its better than arriving with a bag of meds and a unresponsive patient. The Drug Interaction portion of the program is worth the fee on it's own. PEPID EMS was my first purchase. My satisfaction with it led me to try PEPID DI. I am VERY satisfied with both. Thank you for your products."
Dave Hartley
"Congratulations on such a wonderful program. It is very user friendly for people like me who have spent more time with their heads in textbooks. I still get a kick out of being able to pull up all this great information on my PDA, as if it were a favorite reference manual. I plan on showing this to all my fellow Paramedic and Nursing students. As far as your product goes- it is even better than I thought it would be."
Lisa Lynch
"PEPID is excellent and I have used it for over 12 months or so now and would not be without it. I have no problems at all with it and use it every day as a paramedic in Staffordshire in the UK. Keep up the good work!"
Kevin Errington
"My recent purchase was a re-subscription to PEPID:EMS; that alone should tell you that I find it to be very helpful. I have been using your product for over a year now, and I can't begin to tell you how many times it has helped me out at work. Many of my fellow paramedics, and quite a few ED Doctors and RNs have also inquired about it when they have seen me using it. I have always given them the highest reviews of PEPID: EMS. I have tried several other similar programs, and none of them can even begin to compare with yours. All I can say is keep up the good work."
Eric Young
"The program has been helpful on at least two runs now, specifically with deep vein thrombosis since its not something covered in depth in most paramedic training programs that I've seen."
Joshua Whitaker
"On behalf of EMS practitioners everywhere, thanks for creating one of the best programs catered to our industry."
Adam Saturley
"I am, for the most part, extremely pleased with the PEPID program...as a Paramedic, I find myself using the program pretty often...I'd say that I used the software at least once per shift to either look something up or to confirm something I already knew. Anyway, I'd like to thank you personally for writing such a helpful program…"
Charles Anton
"I find the information contained in the database very accurate and I have chosen it as the database for our volunteer emergency response team."
Chris Thomas
"I'm an EMT-B relatively fresh to the field, and truly I like having all the reference materials I can get available to me when I'm on duty. (I'm a volunteer). Your program is by far, the most thorough that I've found and used. I've shown it to some of the Medics I run with and they too thought it was great. My thanks to you Doctor for putting such a useful program together for us to use out on the front lines....it definitely made an improvement to my pre-hospital health care skills."
Mark Stanton
"PEPID is a one stop shop for street paramedics. It has everything, plus more! I have my PDA secured to my belt everywhere I go so it is handy; not only to have my personal information and datebook handy, but in case there's an MCI and I may be called in to duty or I have to respond in my street clothes to help out the community. PEPID helps me be better prepared and be a better paramedic. There are many times I wish I could look things up in a book but I don't have the time or room on my person to carry such, so I have my PDA and PEPID. I am now able to delete other programs to make room on my PDA because PEPID has the information all in one program that normally is on several programs. PEPID is Great! Anyone in EMS who works the streets and wants to be better prepared and informed should have PEPID."
Cody Blowers NREMT-Paramedic, EMS Educator
"I have been using PEPID for a year now and have been very pleased with its applications.

Pamela Burlingame
"The staff at PEPID is very knowledgeable and helpful. An added benefit of the drug guides includes the built-in, weight-based calculators that determine dosages. This is certainly another safeguard in preventing medication errors. The ... table of contents include Labs and Equations, Hazmat and Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Toxicology. These are essential topics for every prehospital practitioner and are covered comprehensively. The value [of PEPID EMS] is enhanced further by the addition of a full drug database. Purchasing a new drug guide separately each year is equivalent to at least $45.95. PEPID EMS is the most comprehensive prehospital database I have seen. It could be used as a review on the way to a call or for learning during downtime... PEPID EMS provides essential resources to supplement the knowledge of the prehospital provider. Research has shown point-of-care access to healthcare information is an effective way to decrease errors."
Cynthia Francis Review in PDA Cortex November 2002
"I would like to say that your product has saved 2 lives in the field - one pediatric overdose and one trauma patient. I use PEPID almost every shift... I have sold over 12 copies to my fellow paramedics and am in the process of trying to get my department to issue PDAs to all our medics. I feel it truly is the way of the future and allows us to make fewer errors in the field by giving us the ability to check ourselves in the field."
James Jay
"I don't just find PEPID RN+ONS helpful but wonder how on earth I managed to do without it in the past. I constantly have other nurses asking me to look up something for them. I am encouraging everyone to purchase PEPID for themselves (told them I will start charging usage if they don't LOL)."
Sharon Benfiet
"I've just been using PEPID RN Oncology for a few weeks and I cannot believe how much information it has. I thought I would be accessing the oncology info the most, but actually find that I'm looking up diagnoses and meds in other specialties! Very comprehensive. Thanks for a great product. I've already told at least a dozen people where to buy PEPID."
Nancy Dunn
"I am an R.N. (oncology) and just bought my palm pilot a few days ago; I was able to download your product easily and am very impressed with it. I am going to take it to work tomorrow and show my peers, I'm sure they will be impressed how fast it is to pull up information!"
Melinda Breon
"I have only used the product for 24 hours and am already hooked...outstanding resource!"
Eileen George
"…Epocrates is NOT as user friendly as Pepid. It does have some good information, don't get me wrong... but I believe Pepid takes the cake, hands down. I refer to Pepid PCP suite nearly daily. (I went back and purchased the PCP Suite of Pepid, too). OH, and by the way... I work both inpatient and outpatient... so even though it is "Primary Care Plus"... it's great for inpatient reference, too. What I love about Pepid is that all the topics are integrated…" Read more.

"I have used the internal medicine program for five months now, and find it to be the most comprehensive, useful medical information tool I have ever encountered."
Sharon Harned
"WOW! I am really impressed with the comprehensiveness and ease of use provided by the PEPID program. It has much more information than 5 Minute CC, and ePocrates® Pro. I am doing a presentation at a mobile technology conference at Johns Hopkins in October 2005 about how I use my pocket PC in practice (hospital urgent care and community health clinic settings) I will certainly recommend PEPID to the audience. I will also tell my NP students that PEPID is definitely worth buying."
Janet Selway
"Thank you for PEPID-it's the most useful reference on my Palm."
Ashwani Garg

Carlos Gutierrez Marfileno
"Your services have provided me with instant access to the resources and tools I need to be more efficient and provide better clinical services, outstanding reference."
Maury McGlone, Pharm. D. Director of Pharmacy Middlesboro ARH Hospital
"I am VERY SATISFIED with PEPID. It is much better than reading through the HARRISON or UP TO DATE as PEPID gives you the most important facts quickly and simply and the program is very user friendly."
Ratnasari Padang
"I am impressed with the program. I also have Harrison's Internal Medicine program, and find PEPID to be more thorough."
Gerald Creel
"Overall, I am very impressed by PEPID and I have decided to use it in place of 5MCC. I found the installation fairly straightforward. Thank you for a product that is very easy and intuitive to use, and clearly a leader in this field."
Frank N. Schnell
"The download was easy and successful. It's extremely convenient to have so much information in the palm of my hand, literally. I use it every day. Thanks very much."
Alan C. Sutphen
"It is a great product, easy to use and so helpful for a busy physician. Keep on doing your great job."
Jean-Jacques St-Aubin
"I am very pleased with your product!!! It is easier and more informative than Washington Manual or Harrison's!!!"
Eric Yoon
"Thank you for your commitment to the profession. As an owner of several clinics, I appreciate your extreme endeavors and sincerely hope this is a tool to ensure practice efficiency as well as accuracy."
Mark Bollinger
"I am glad to know that people are beginning to take notice of the advantages of having reference materials at their fingertips and how much safer it makes patient care. I use my PDA with PEPID MD daily in my clinical practice and the calculators within the drug references greatly ease my mind when treating my pediatric clients. Even though my collaborating physician has a PDA with PEPID, he comes to me to calculate dosages occasionally because I use it so much! There have not been many items that I have not been able to reference on PEPID...I feel lost if I ever leave my PDA at home!!!! It is almost like my security blanket that I can have it there to reference if I need it!! Thanks again for developing such an innovative and handy product-it truly has enhanced my patient care!!!"
Karen Thompson
"I use [PEPID MD] in ER as well as office setting and commend your company on cutting edge info technology. I frequently lecture to docs on PDA use in ER setting and will continue to sing the praises of PEPID."
Josh Schwartzberg
"[PEPID] represents a new breed of all-in-one medical reference packages. PEPID endeavors to go beyond the "suite" of compatible products to provide a single, all encompassing reference for clinicians. Drug data, disease information, lab references, clinical calculators, even nutrition information and complementary medicine are integrated into this software. It's surprisingly fast. The program loads quickly and there are almost no delays while running it. The navigation is intuitive and the screen uncluttered. I have used PEPID for over a month now, and I consult it frequently. It is easy to use, and impresses other clinicians. My final assessment is that PEPID is a very worthy investment... It appears the company is committed to enhancements and upgrades."
Stewart Cameron Review in PDA Cortex, November 2002
"I am happy with PEPID. I can't identify how much time is saved, but I now can "research" at the bedside with my Palm rather than leave and return later. I do general medicine and emergency room work as well and like that I have one resource for both. Recently I used it to guide me through an ethylene glycol overdose. It had it all from initial stabilization to the very expensive antidote...I did it all through PEPID!"
Menuccia Gagliardi
"I like the product. I work in a very remote area in Northern Quebec about two weeks a month...the reason I bought it was as a tool to help in my practice. That way I don't have to travel with a ton of books... no fun on a plane."
Elisabeth Paradis
"You've done a very good job with PEPID, it is just amazing for me to have such a good, clear, and right medical information in my hands. So please keep going with this, you help a lot of physicians all over the world. In fact I am 43 years old physician, general practicioner, having my private practice in my home town Guayaquil, Ecuador. But also I work on board a cruise ship around the Galapagos Islands, then is very useful my palm a M130, and of course your PEPID."
Nelson Velez

Carey B. Gear
"I use PEPID MD every day in my practice at the clinic. It is so easy to access the information I need on disease states and symptom management, and I love the preventive health section! It is so wonderful to have all the information I need at my fingertips, and in such a small package! I even find the other providers coming to me to look something up for them! PEPID MD has become my favorite resource."
Kathleen M Burzlaff
"I just read your comments about the PEPID Drug Database being selected as number one for practitioners. You stated "Now there is no question about who is number one in practical PDA drug information delivery." There has been no question in my mind for YEARS about the value of PEPID, not only for the Drug Database, but as one of the most valuable tools I utilize in my practice. I have used the Emergency Physician Suite for several years, and it has almost completely replaced all textbooks. I bought a copy of the online version, in case I forget my PDA, as it so essential in my practice. I recently purchased the lab manual, and I have been very pleased with it as well. I say keep up the excellent work, because now you've spoiled us with such great products!"
Tina E. James, M.D.
"I really like the program, I've used others and they didn't stack up. I use it everyday at work and it hasn't let me down yet, I really like the huge drug database."
Tamara Mutton
"Great product! ePocrates® doesn't compare."
Richard Pena
"I like yours over others because I can not only compare many drugs for reactions, but I can also find out how the drug works."
Marion Wilkinson
"I went to live chat support where I received help VERY promptly and completely. The professional and prompt way that it was handled was more than satisfactory. I want to add that I have two colleagues who use ePocrates® and when I chose to use PEPID, we sort of had a contest. We would have races, etc. to see who could find the answer first--needless to say--I won EVERY time. Not only that, but PEPID is much more complete than ePocrates®-with more links and easy navigation. Thanks so much for a great product and great support. Please keep up the good work."
Jim Perkinson
"My install was completely successful. Thank you! I want to add that I have two colleagues who use ePocrates® and when I chose to use Pepid, we sort of had a contest.

"I absolutely LOVE it and am showing it to everyone!"
Barb Rogers
"Love your product. Much better than ePocrates®. Very impressed."
Bill Genthner
"I am thrilled with PEPID program. As a matter of fact, the friend that downloaded it for me plans on subscribing to PEPID also."
Margaret Stock
"I visited the PEPID web site over the weekend. I was EASILY able to download the trial application to my PC. I also hot synced from PC to PDA with no difficulty. Thanks for your support on a great web site."
Trudi Rindfusz
"The program looks very good and I appreciate the Canadian & American references."
Sharon Bural
"Thank you so much for your help. It worked!!! I am a 3rd year pharmacy student; so, having a program like this is invaluable to me. Kudos on the great support. This kind of care will keep me as a customer throughout my professional career. The information is accurate and easily navigable from topic to topic. Thanks again!"
DyKiesha Land
"Very nice product. ePocrates® is gone off my palm. I decided to purchase your product and have used it in the pharmacy a number of times already."
Scott Nichols
"I am a pharmacist intern. The pdc comes in very handy when I need a quick reference. In my community pharmacy practice, I'm able to use the PDC to look up interactions and adverse effects for patients. It comes in handy, especially for the OTC products."
John Kimbal
"The program is fun and informative. So far, I'm really appreciative of the drug interactions and medication calculators."
Norm Komaranski
"I really like your program, and I got two of my colleagues (fellow pharmacists) to purchase the same program from you for 2 years for their PDAs. They tried mine and liked it better than anything else they had seen. Just thought you might like to know that...you have a great product."
Tim Denis
"PEPID seems like a great resource so far. I use the information in both the in- and outpatient setting. It is easier to spot obscure drug interactions BEFORE the pharmacist calls. Most importantly, ready access to information means better patient care, pure and simple."
George MacDonald
"I have enjoyed using the Portable Drug Companion. It is a wonderful resource. Thank you."
Elizabeth Bowman
"Wonderful program, I love it. One of my nurse colleagues couldn't find a drug in the manuals, but it was on PEPID."
Jan Favret
"I am extremely impressed with PEPID. The interface is excellent as is the content. It blows away Handheld Med and ePocrates®. I am so glad that I found your site."
Estil Strawn
"Great program. My friend has it so I checked it out and was impressed. I have a couple of friends who also are going to subscribe in next couple weeks. All are pharmacists who appreciate the program and have some on-call responsibilities and find it great to quickly and easily look up information."
Roger Stroup
"I love the intuitive nature of the software, all the calculators (eg. dosing for peds), and I find that it's a more powerful software for me in my environment where I practice than ePocrates®."
William Paunan
"I downloaded PEPID after unsuccessfully attempting to download ePocrates®. I am very pleased with PEPID."
Tony Dorsey
"Everything went very smoothly! And I do appreciate a reliable drug reference that is NOT sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. A very impressive bit of software. Thanks!"
Rich Wahl
"I loved the drug listing, but the best is all of the other information included also. I really appreciate your program and will utilize it a lot in my practice."
Melanie D Geiser
"I love the IV drip calculator."
Robin Bailey
"I bought the pharmacology program. I like the PEPID program because it has the kinetics and children's dosing."
Robert E. Pittman
"I've been using the program frequently, and have heard a few "wows!" from my colleagues, and even one from a patient (who happens to be a Pharmacist). Will keep trying to spread the good news (no blasphemy intended) to others around here in Northwest Indiana."
Jeffrey Seizys
"I have been showing everyone at work how PEPID operates and they are truly amazed. Many of the nurses and pharmacists here are considering it's use."
Sandra Kanitz
"I faithfully use PEPID PDC every day at work. I love it. I am hoping my fellow pharmacists at work will as well."
Shera Hanson
"I am very happy with PEPID. I find particularly pertinent and useful the section of Drugs and Conversion Equations. For me that is the best comparing with others Palm products I have."
Albert Mupenda
"I save at least an hour a day instead of using PDR or calling the pharmacy for drug information."
Eddie Brown
"I find that Pts are really impressed when I pull out my PDA review the adverse reactions of their drugs and discuss with them."
Leonard Checchio
"I am happy with the product and I just renewed it the other day. You wouldn't believe how many patients latch on to the information about drug interactions when they see it on the device. It is absolutely amazing that I can show the problems with all the meds they are taking or the side effects and they believe me."
Helena Black
"Using PEPID probably saves me about 10 to 20 minutes per shift as it is quicker than looking through a drug reference that is available on the unit."
Janet Allen
"PEPID drug reference comes highly recommended. I am enjoying it thus far and had no problems with the download."
Kevin Mackey
"I am impressed by the amount of information and useful knowledge I have gotten by using Pepid. It is a great help at work."
Don Ogata
"I am currently using pepid in my job. I am a critical care nurse in a level 1 trauma center. I am impressed with the info in the program. I hope to become more fluent with it. I find it a little time consuming when I am looking for something in a hurry. I will keep you informed. I am the brainiac of the unit now!!! Thanks so much."
Susanne Chapman
"I still think that PEPID is the best tool that I have ever used in the 19 years I have been a critical care nurse! GREAT PRODUCT!"
Tracy Long
"I am very pleased with PEPID. I am an ER nurse, and I use PEPID on an almost daily basis. I have tried other programs, but find yours to be the most comprehensive and user friendly. The installation process was much easier than the previous installation."
Diane Hinojosa
"This program is fantastic! I have the background; now I'm confident about being up to date. Many thanks for a most valuable resource!"
Linda Campbell Regis University
"I think it is a great tool, I have been an ER nurse for 20 years and depend on Pepid RN frequently."
Victoria McManus
"I am a new RN and I wouldn't go to work without PEPID in my pocket. Thanks for the useful product."
Jean Player
"You have the best service! Keep up the good work. I use your program daily at work and just for reading. I love your product!"
Cheryl Conway
"I am a charter subscriber, having paid for a subscription BEFORE PEPID-RN ever was released. I have been a proponent of your product and have sold many, many of my physician and RN collegues on this wonderful product. Please accept my sincere thanks for adding this valuable online tool without additional cost. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. Thanks again!"
Robb White, RNC, CEN
"This is the best program I have used yet...thank you...keep up the good work!"
Elizabeth Sands
"This program so far has been fantastic!! I am a nursing student and am now in clinical rotations at various hospitals where this program comes to my aid everyday. The teachers have gone gaga over it as well. The head of the school told us that we could not use palm pilots but I knew that we could prove to her how handy they are especially with a program like this. She has now changed her mind and you should be getting a few more customers very soon."
Daniel Greer
"I currently work as a new graduate registered nurse on a high acuity oncology unit. I have used the program several times already and I have "lightened" my load. (New graduates look EVERYTHING up!!) Fellow nurses have reviewed the program as well and are impressed with many of the features."
Rebecca Toth
"I am AMAZED at the comprehensive amount of information available. As I said in my comments, PEPID has much more information than ePocrates® Pro and 5 minute clinical consult. I was a long time satisfied user of both of these programs. What sold me on PEPID was the side by side comparison tables of PEPID, ePocrates® Pro and 5 minCC and the recent 50% off promotion email advertisement. I had no idea that PEPID was so comprehensive. It even has the Revised Trauma Score (my dissertation topic was in the area of trauma). I am faculty at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. I will definitely recommend PEPID to the NP students."
Janet Selway DNSc, CRNP Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing
"Your software is wonderful! Thank you for the free Palm trial - I wanted to see the format and verify ease of use before purchasing. It is great! I am currently finishing nursing school and completing my preceptorship in critical care."
Michele Kuhn-Warren
"I am thrilled with the program and could not put it down all weekend--I am a Nursing faculty member as well as Nurse Practitioner getting ready for my boards - so it will be extremely useful."
Katie Hill
"I am a nurse and I love using it at work."
Lynda Tracy
"I absolutely love it!! I can find anything on the program and it's no hassle. This will really benefit my NP practice!! THANKS!"
Stephanie Schaefer
"I work as a staff RN in SICU of one of the trauma hospitals in CT...I just purchase the PEPID-RN and it's amazingly helpful! Quick reference to almost everything specially the IV Drug interaction and IV Drug calculator tool works best for me!"
Ronan Armada
"Overall I think PEPID is excellent, it covers a ton, and is always getting better... I have referred it to many, and am actually setting up some community PDA's for the staff nurses in our ED to share. I have run your program hard.... and plan to more!"
Andy Kitzberger
"I am satisfied with your product-particularly when navigating between the various functions. PEPID's integration and speed of execution are impressive. As my studies progress and I learn more, PEPID RN will certainly prove to be a valuable asset!"
John Glick
"I've been highly recommending PEPID RN to all my fellow students, but, of course, it speaks volumes for itself in action on the clinic floor. It seems a PDA with PEPID is on everyone's wish list now! Thanks for the continued impeccable customer service and for creating an indispensable product for nurses!!!"
BJ Sharman
"Really enjoy PEPID. I had ePocrates® before, PEPID is soooooooo much more helpful. I am a RN and I know you have to be getting good responses from other RNs."
Mary Alice Grewell
"I have been using my PEPID in my clinical practice and it is a great resource-we even used the drug compatibility feature and it was confirmed by pharmacy for my skeptical coworkers!! Keep up the great program and upgrades!!!"
Kim Stuart
"My PEPID download went great. I use my PEPID at work in the ER. The doctors told me about PEPID because they have it on their PDA's. The PEPID for Nurses is awesome and has helped me a lot."
Jill Reiss
"I've had your product for quite a while now (over a year), and I love it. I am a nursing student and PEPID has helped me out so much during my clinicals. I have all the information that I need right there in my hand. My instructors even come to me to look things up."
Todd Makris
"I'm touched by the personal attention you give to your subscribers. PDA use in our institution is quite new to the nurses especially on our floor. I tried your product for a month and decided that's all the software I need for my practice. You should have seen the big eyes of my coworkers whenever I pull out my PDA to look-up something. I probably have set an example to at least 5 of them who went and to buy PDA same as mine. They consult me now about what software to buy."
Minda M. Ratliff
"I want to let you know how valuable I find PEPID to be in my everyday nursing practice. I have been a registered nurse for over a year, and this software has helped me with medications, diseases, and other nursing matters that a new grad would have difficulty in the beginning of her practice. I have recommended your product to a number of my colleagues. It truly is a valuable resource that saves us time, helps in educating patients, and assists in the safety of our practice."
Geraldine Dasappan
"I'm impressed by how you have improved the software over the last three years. I now use it regularly in my practice as an ER nurse at an urban trauma center."
Tom Candela
"I'm very impressed with the PEPID software. I work as a senior staff nurse in an intensive care unit here in the United Kingdom. Several of our doctors use PDAs so I will definitely be telling them about your software. Thanks Again."
Dave Farmer
"I am presently a nursing student about to finish my LPN part of my nursing program and will start my pre-requisites for RN this fall. I find you programs wonderful. I am showing it to all the nurses that I work with on my clinical days. Thank you and your staff for developing the software."
Don Insco
"I have been involved with prehospital care and ER nursing for over 23 years at a rural California hospital. Your excellent software has already helped me to do my job better and faster."
Timothy L. Williams
"Thank you for your program. I am a student Family Nurse Practitioner and find PEPID to be an invaluable asset in the clinical setting. I appreciate the format and the ability to recall drug information, lab values and procedures in one easy to use program. Thank you again for your product, for I have developed a serious dependency upon it in the clinical setting."
Ray Spaid
"I am very impressed with the program and am enjoying the exploration of the many features. The amount of information is amazing and will certainly be a valuable tool to use on the Medical/Neurology floor on which I work. The navigation within the program is user friendly and logical. PEPID RN is an exciting program, and I am discovering more features every day. Thank you for developing such a wonderful comprehensive program."
Judith Amrose
"The download process was trouble-free! I purchased this software for my daughter who just graduated from nursing school and she is extremely pleased with it!"
Deniece Morgan
"It has been a year since I first subscribed to the program, and I am very pleased with it, as well with the customer support. I work as a triage RN in a very busy ER and have used the program numerous times in this position. Thank you again for having this product available to the nursing population."
Karen Lappalainen
"Your program is superb! My hat is off to the development team and all the nurses who had such wonderful input."
Will Moore
"The more I use it the more I like it. Every thing is so simple to access and it all is tied together so nicely. This is a fantastic product; I would recommend it to any nurse."
Charles King
"My wife who is the nurse (new nurse) is very apprehensive about computers. It was hard getting her to look at the PDA even though she wanted it. It took her about a half hour to get the hang of it. Now after several days or weeks at work with it she loves it. She tells me other nurses come up to her and ask her to look things up for her. As of this time it is a tool she now says she can't live without."
George Lescadre
"I am an R.N. (oncology) and just bought my palm pilot a few days ago; I was able to download your product easily and am very impressed with it. I am going to take it to work tomorrow and show my peers, I'm sure they will be impressed how fast it is to pull up information!"
Melinda Breon
"The download for PEPID went very well. I am so glad I purchased your product. The amount of information that is available in this reader is impressive. I have not looked at every entry of information, but what I have I am very impressed. I have told many of my other colleges friends about this product, and hopefully they will make the right decision and purchase your product. My Nursing Instructors were very impressed as well. Again, thank you for making such a product. You have a satisfied, long term consumer."
Michael R. Strobl
"I am well pleased with the download process. I started my RN-PEPID subscription in 2001, and have seen a lot of improvement. Because I like the product so much I extended my subscription till 2006!!!!"
Marlon Miguel
"I am an ER nurse and one of my docs recommended I buy PEPID. I love it and have recommended it to other nurses. Thank you for a wonderful product that covers all the bases...it is exactly what I need right at my fingertips and very easy to access. The download process was easy and fast. Once again, thank you."
Susan Smith
"I love the RN program!"
Becky Fletcher
"I am very impressed with the content and ease of navigating the software. I think I have already recruited a few more nurses. Thanks!"
Sara Rosenkoetter
"I think it's WONDERFUL! I think your program is outstanding in that it combines medications, symptoms, lab results, differential dx, and medical dx with nursing considerations. It's everything a nurse needs all in one shot! You've really turned my PDA into a wonderful and easy to use tool. Thanks!"
Melodee McConnell
"The program has a lot of information on it. From what I've seen the drug book section seems very good. I like the "rate of administration" and the "compatibility" in particular, as I work in a critical care unit."
Connie Ellis
"Thank you for developing this program and especially the RN version. I was delighted to find a program specifically for nurses and am introducing it to the staff."
Christine Croke
"I am a RN working in the surgical care setting and occasionally work in the emergency department. The PEPID-ED has been of great benefit, I utilize it daily and recommend the product to my colleagues."
Brian French
"I am a critical care/open heart recovery RN. I use my PDA PEPID program daily at work. Many of the doctors I work with have expressed interest in PEPID and I have informed them how to find y'all on the net. I am also a travel RN. So PEPID...keeps me well up to date on the many new drugs and procedures."
Yvonne D. Ferguson
"I especially like it when the docs, some right out of school and well as some who have been in practice for some years, are trying to locate the latest treatments for medical problems and I whip out my PEPID and confirm or educate them on the latest information. It is much faster than looking it up in our reference manuals, [and I] sold many of them on using PEPID rather than 5 Minute Consult or Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine."
Michael J. Colton
"I have been using it for my classes - I am a nurse practitioner student and I think it will be very valuable in my clinicals."
Priscilla Murray
"Congratulations on such a wonderful program. It is very user friendly for people like me who have spent more time with their heads in textbooks. I still get a kick out of being able to pull up all this great information on my PDA, as if it were a favorite reference manual. I plan on showing this to all my fellow Paramedic and Nursing students. As far as your product goes- it is even better than I thought it would be."
Lisa Lynch
"I did just renew my subscription to PEPID RN and it was an easy process, no problems at all. It's a great product and I use it all the time at work. As for when I use it, I am an ER Nurse and carry it with me all the time. I mostly use the drug information, probably on an average of 3 times a week. Thanks for your interest, and thanks for a great product."
Vince Reynolds
"PEPID is a very useful program in my nursing career. I love the program and it saves me from carrying three books to work."
Callie Stiles
"I am an Assistant Director of a busy critical care unit and I find the PEPID product to be a great resource for me."

"You have an excellent idea and very useful for those of us in the medical field. I am an RN in the cathlab at present. We have a lot of nurses who would benefit from your program."
Dianna G. Lawson
"I would just like to commend your customer support team for their prompt and helpful responses to my inquiries. I recommend your product a lot and know that there are several of the nursing faculty at my school and students who now have your products because they have seen how useful they are to me in the clinical setting. I can usually answer a question or solve a problem within minutes before anyone has the time to go get a reference book. Thank you for a great product I look forward to using it and any improvements are always welcome."
Alton Grant
"I am a Registered nurse, just graduated in December and it is a wonderful reference tool for me on the clinical floor. All of my colleagues gathered around me when they heard that I had a pocket reference and wanted to see what I was using. I think you will be getting many new subscriptions for your product in the next few months. Even the seasoned nurses were impressed with the amount of info I had at my fingertips. Thank you for creating this invaluable tool that will improve my practice immensely."
Debra Dosztal
"I use PEPID everyday. It is my "go to" PDA program. Easy to use, fast and accurate. Even my docs ask me to look up things in my PEPID before they look them up - or try to - in texts."
Eliana Assimakopoulos
"First, let me thank you for an outstanding program, words alone could not explain how beneficial this one program is. I have been a Paramedic in Ca. for 12 years, and have held certifications in ACLS, BTLS, PALS, and PADI open water diver. I am now in my final semester as a nursing student, and I find myself using PEPID RN on a daily basis, not only in the clinical setting, but also in the classroom. It is a tremendous benefit not only for my own personal knowledge, it also helps me save time and provide better patient care by providing the ultimate reference right in my pocket. Thank You!!"
John Bellar
"I have used PEPID for the last year. This is a great resource. I used it when I was working in a RN role in the Medical Intensive Care Unit, and continue to use it now in my role as a Family Nurse Practitioner with the Bone Marrow Transplant team. PEPID is a great product, and I use it on a daily basis. Thank you for your interest and ensuring that your product remains a very useful and key part to ensuring quality care to the patients I care for."
Bryon Allen
"I love my PEPID!!! It saves me countless minutes in the ER and is always in my pocket. I am the envy of my unit. I also love when the providers ask me "to look something up". Thank you so very much for a wonderful product!!!"
Valere Bilichka
"Well, I LOVE the program. A fellow BSN nursing student brought his new Compaq PDA to school with all of these programs on it. They really help. Your programs are wonderful and easy to use. Thank you and I will tell my friends about the program! The software has been very helpful in my clinical practices so far. I had no idea this type of information was available, and I'm lucky enough to be able to go out and buy the products."
Elizabeth Mullican
"PEPID's strength is its comprehensiveness. Whether it be a drug contraindication or the best way to perform a specific procedure, I always refer to PEPID first if I'm not completely sure about something. This allows me to give better patient care."
Barry O'Connor
"I thought the entire process of downloading PEPID was extremely easy. I am a nursing student and I am getting a lot of use out of the program. Thank you."
Amanda Morgan
"I absolutely love PEPID RN! I've found it to be very helpful at work. Thanks!!"
Sheila Mudge
"I wish that I had not purchased a number of Skyscape products which have not met my needs as well as your Nurse PEPID. The index is very responsive and the inclusion of the mini-keyboard on the index page is useful."
David Williams
"I have been using PEPID for a year now and have been very pleased with its applications. I find it very easy to use at work and have even had little contests with my colleagues who have other references on their PDAs to see who can access information the quickest and who has the most useful and comprehensive information. I always win. I have promoted PEPID ED to my physician colleagues and have referred my EMT and RN associates to the web site to check out the versions available for them, as well."
