Clinical Neurology
As a medical student there are a vast amount of books to look at on this subject. Most sadly don't cover the kind of things you need and you end up buying more books. This book I found particularly good. The presentation of what you see in clinacal cases was execellent. It explained concisely the rationale for certain types of testing/assessments, reviewing core knowledge where required. I can't praise this book enough. Ideal for the student finding their way into the clinical world yet I suspect not detailed enough for the established clinician.
