Data Interpretation features heavily in all clinical assessments in medical school and on hospital rotations. This book contains subject-based chapters giving detailed notes on how to deal with all the kinds of data that doctors need to interpret in every day practice. Tables, diagrams and flowcharts are included, and each chapter features Don't forget' boxes to aid the memory. Each chapter is packed with sample cases that demonstrate how the data is applied in practice, and gives the candidate a means of testing what they are learning throughout the book. A final chapter is full of 'Complete Clinical Cases' where presenting cases require several types of data interpretation giving the candidates a flavour of 'real life' medicine. This book is written for all medical students and is ideal for OSCE practice, during ward rounds and clinical years; it is also useful to Foundation Year Doctors.

wow, this book explains everything from ECGs to LFTs to ABGs in the most sensible, easily understandable way imaginable. Great stuff, thanks to the writers, i might have a hope of passing data interpretation. they actually make the subject interesting as well. Highly recommended.

Firstly this is a book for interpreting labs results and clinical tests. It has nothing to do with statistics or clinical trials. It is excellent, clearly explained and quick to read. I discovered this book in my final year and actually wish I'd known about it sooner, the level is fairly basic (but enough for finals) and I would imagine a lot of it most medical student will already know by final year, that said I can't recommend it highly enough for first year clinicals. If I had read the explanations of LFT and ABG interpretations right at the start of my clinicals it would have saved me a long time trying to work them out for myself. It is the kind of book you only really need to read once so it might be worth borrowing it from a friend or library.

Format:Paperback
This is a clear and concise textbook containing chapters on different topics. The layout consists of a few pages of information on each subject, followed by cases and answers. The answers are fully explained and simple to understand. This book is not difficult to read, although one or two sections need the backup of another book or some prior knowledge of the particular subject to understand fully. The last chapter contains complete clinical cases which are very helpful for finals revision.
I would recommend this book for finals, not least because there does not seem to be another competing title on the market, but also because due to it's simple language and layout, It shouldn't take too long to complete. It is also just about small enough to carry around and read in clinics if need be.

The book is fantastic with all sorts of diagrams , good for medical students.
The only negative aspect will be that the papers are loose and can easily split apart

Confused about labs? Check out this book
At first glance this book is nothing to write home about. The layout is a bit amateur and I was afraid I had wasted money on another dud recommendation. Read more
