Product Description

100 Cases in Clinical Medicine is an indispensable revision tool for medical students preparing for clinical examinations or OSCEs. Using scenarios which mimic daily life, the cases will interest students in clinical problems and help them develop their clinical reasoning skills, with each case presenting details of a patient's medical history and the key findings of a clinical examination, together with initial investigation results for evaluation.


Key questions then prompt the student to evaluate the patient, and reach a decision regarding their condition and the possible management plan, while the answer pages will help the student to understand the processes that a clinician goes through in dealing with the problems presented. Contents are organised to provide a quick review of each body system, with a selection of cases relevant to that specific system, then the majority are presented randomly to mimic real life in a GP surgery or emergency department.


New to this edition: a review of each body system as well as random cases; new page design with a second colour used throughout; and brought up-to-date with 25% new cases.

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.
