Customer Reviews

Extensive use of pictures to illustrate clinical matters!
If you are good at remembering pictures this is definitely the text for you. I had never seen this book before and was extremely surprised by its contents. It is an extremely clinical text that uses pictures really well to show clinical aspects to disease. It is very good at illustrating especially those aspects of medicine that rely on imaging and visual clues. Infection and Dermatology are especially well covered. The book is excellent at showing the physical changes that will be seen and linking them with clinical histories and presentations. Obviously for more in depth reading on a particular subject you will need additional material but this book is excellent at achieving what it sets out to do and the price is good too!
