Customer Reviews

Rapid Obstetrics & Gynaecology
This new publication is an essential addition to any medical student or Junior doctors library. The text is well laid out in an easy to follow format that lends itself to quickly finding information.

On each page a symptom/complaint is reviewed concisely under various headings describing, symptoms, causes, treatment etc. enabling you quickly find your query. I love it's format,it saves loads of time that I would normally spend trawling through texts so I actually get more study done.

This book is definately money well spent, and will be invaluable during finals!

I'm getting the rest of the series....
