Product Description

"... a first rate attempt at covering the medical sciences"


Review

I would be delighted if every medical student I taught had realized the level of the clarity and detail in this book. (Dr Thomas Jacques, Clinician/Scientist, Institute of Child Health, in the Bulletin of the Royal College of Physicians )

...ideal for all medical students...for PBL section and as a companion to lecture notes...also useful as a refresher later on...cross referencing with the Oxford Handbook Clinical Medicine makes it ideal when looking for specific pathologies and their management... (QMM )

The book enables you to see basic science through the viewpoint of clinical medicine. You feel acutely aware of the relevance of the information you are seeking...as well as the familiar and efficient bullet point method to convey essential information, it contains clear and wonderfully concise diagrams - the kind youcrave when you want to quickly check something; you don't want detail - just to jog your memory. (GKT Gazette )

Fantastic! Truly a great resources for students. I feel that this book could have a great market here in the US. The US market has many similar books but they all fall short on content. I find this text far superior in content & organization. My thoughts are that 3rd & 4th year medical students could carry & use this small handbook when rotating on the various hospital wards & clinical rotations. This book would also be very helpful for 1st year interns/residents as they often need to refer back to basic science principles...I was amazed at how complete this small handbook is with basic medical science topics and the ease with which one can read and refer back to these topics. Art work was particularly impressive despite being small. I found no weaknesses in this book whatsoever! (Dr. Edward Kernick, USA )

...it's got pretty much everything you're supposed to know in years one and two...compact, comprehensive, brilliant value and another winner in the handbook series. (Dr Jeremy Sager, GP, Leeds, UK. )

4.0 out of 5 stars northern medical scientist, 20 April 2007
By Northern Medical Scientist (Newcastle upon Tyne) - See all my reviews
When faced by the enormous volume of information available today the medical student and junior doctor may struggle to know where to start. This excellent handbook provides a wide ranging synoptic review of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology, organised by organ systems. The key information can be found in this book either when starting to learn a topic, when revising for exams or when faced by clinical problems. The chapters are well organised and supported by a comprehensive index. Well recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 21 May 2008
By D. O'KANE "checkout medexam.net" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I dip into this book often and it ever fails to impress me with the depth of information and its straightforward no nonsense style that is lacking in the big books. Full marks !

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book-easy to keep on you whilst learning, 10 Mar 2009
I'm teaching myself until I can get into Uni someday so I bought this on a whim after flicking through it. It's really good-they've stripped down the explanations and details the minimum concepts you actually would need to know in each of the mentioned sections.

You can't *quite* teach yourself medical science just from this book-however you could give it a good go :). Certainly would allow a student to revise his most important scientific basics as this covers most things albeit briefly.

I plan to get the clinical one next as they reference each other.

Good value for money. If your studying these subjects at Uni and need to pick one book to revise with whilst on holiday etc then this is a good choice.
