Product Description
Mini Kumar & Clark goes into its fifth edition! New to this best-selling, portable, quick reference to clinical medicine: fully updated in line with the latest edition of "Kumar & Clark's Clinical Medicine"; new chapter on malignant disease; and, practical procedures and therapeutics taken into individual chapters as appropriate. From reviews of the previous edition: "This really is an excellent medical textbook. It easily covers undergraduate medicine." ""Pocket Essentials" is a great little book to review the night before you start on a rotation. It is small enough that you can easily read over the chapter and then appear on the ward with a good idea of what is going on." "In short this book is concise, succinct and gets straight to the point." "This book summarises everything you need to know: causes, diagnoses and treatments." "I am finding this book very helpful and more importantly very concise. It has most things you need to know about common clinical pathologies." "I turned to "Pocket Essentials of Clinical Medicine" as my clinical medicine reference guide - and what a guide! An excellent book, which gives you the clinical features, investigations and management for a whole variety of different illnesses. The book is clearly laid out, and even has normal blood chemistry values at the end. Do yourself a favour and buy this book!" "This mini paperback is a must for anyone studying medicine. It gives all the information one would need and all without the pain of carrying around a large book." "I liked this book. It was useful having a smaller reference book to carry around on wards etcetera - it's more digestible and easier to follow than big "K&C", and gives a little more background than the "Oxford Handbook" - and I know people who use it to revise for finals."

This is literally a smaller version of the 'big K+C'. If you ever thought the big K+C was too much to carry with you for PBL or wards (which is understandable), this book seemed perfect for this gap in the market. The topics covered in this book is very similar to the big K+C. Some chapters has some basic physiology covered, some chapters have some basic procedures explained, and some chapters explain the variation of presenting complaints relating to the different bodily systems. Otherwise, most of the diseases are covered in the same format as the big K+C, making this book perfect of PBL and for exam revision. Highly recommend this book to be your next reading material on the tube or rail, but not a book of necessity in your bookshelf.

Format:Paperback
Lacks detail compared to the previous edition and is rather thin on topics. I don't think this book lives up to the K&C standard we are use to. I'll be using the fourth edition for my learning.
Format:Paperback
Love this book! It's basically a mini Kumar & Clark and brilliant for dropping into your bag or taking along for long car journey. I use this as my key text that I take everywhere, including night shifts. The size means that I can carry it around almost anywhere and it has key information that I can access whenever I need to. I couldn't be happier with it and it has already acquired the 'used' look that my other text books have.
Only down-side is that it is rather chunky (understandably, considering the amount of info!). This does make it slightly heavy when carrying around, but definitely worth it.
If the traditional Kumar & Clark works for you then this a good choice.
