Customer Reviews

100 Cases review by a 3rd Year Medic at GKT
A great revision aid and generally helpful whilst on clinical rotations. Cases are presented with histories, clinical results and x-rays/ECGs etc where necessary. You are normally asked to suggest a differential diagnosis and a management plan. Answers are then on the following page and the basic medical science behind the conditions is explained.
All the cases are the kind of questions you will get in exams. This was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend it to anyone!

A good book for any revising GKT medical student.
Well, anyone at Guy's Kings & Tommies should know that the people who wrote this book also help write our exams. So it would probably be a good idea to read through the cases as they cover most of the sylabus. Have Fun!

Cement your knowledge
If you want one book to bring together all the random facts that you have been memorising, and make them relavent, this one is it.

It gives you the pleasure of looking at all the clues and diagnosing the condition. This is a must for any clinical medical student.
