Customer Reviews

Kylie Clarke - Medical Student from Glasgow
This book, as has been said by other reviews IS the Bible for Clinical Medicine. It also articulates very well with the other books, I find it works very well with the book on Acute Medicine also aswell as the one on A&E Medicine.

This book is a MUST for any Medical Student - my nursing friends find the A&E book particularly usefull also.

Must have for all Junior doctors/senior medical students
As a junior doctor (SHO) this book has served me extemely well over the last 3 years, This really is a "must have" pocket reference especially for the wards and clinics. Excellent - p.s. I don't work for the publishers!

Every doctor should have a copy no matter their speciality !
Diseases may not be in great detail but the best quick reference in clinical medicine there is. Thera is also very good down to earth advice on some non-clinical aspects such as bed side manner and "is this new treatment any good!"
