Published Reviews of the 1st Edition The writing is clear and sticks to the point and each system, presentation or condition is confined to one two-page spread, starting with a diagram summarising the main points- this would be great for revision. 4th Year Medical Student, Liverpool Medical Student Sphincter, December 2003 This book is perfect as a partner to clinical explosure. This is a must for medical school libraries, and would not be out of place in a GP practise for students between clinic times. The American Society of Nephrology in San Diego, 12-17 November 2003 This is a comprehensive text, successfully combining practical clinical skills with the background knowledge of common presentations and conditions vital to making a diagnosis. It is well laid out and easy to dip into, providing the right amount of information to either reactivate long-for-gotten facts or have you running to the library. .I would recommend this book to all clinical medical students, and feel that at 15.95 third year students could buy this and be content that it will continue to justify its worth up until, and probably beyond, their finals; whilst for final year students it provides both a good revision text to coax you back towards medical thoughts, as well as an excellent guide to clinical skills, useful in the run up to the dreaded final year OSCE. I shall definitely be carrying this book under my arm tomorrow, and for several months to come. gkt gazette, December 2003 I think it's a good addition to your bookshelf and could sit nicely alongside 'Medicine at a Glance.'
