4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 21 May 2008
By D. O'KANE "checkout medexam.net" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One should have a larger book but for quick reference as a pocket/bag book its excellent for students and trainees and I have recently been encouraging my doctors to get one especially those doing GPVTS who would just not have the time or interest to wade through K&C. As such it's a slightly more gentle way to revise basic medicine. It is different to OHCM and fulfills a different need.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites, 13 Oct 2008
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. It doesn't replace the Oxford Handbook but rather compliments it. The Oxford Handbook is great for key facts, Pocket Essentials on the other hand gives a fundamental overview of what you need to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pocket book for the deep pockets of Med students!, 11 Jan 2009
Whilst I am reviewing this from a student nurse perspective, this book is geared towards primarily med students.

Firstly this book is available in a PDA format for the techno bods out there which may be welcome to some as the pocket book has over 1,000 pages.

This book is incredibly detailed and very well laid out in colour coded format.
Each section details a small introduction, pathophysiology of an ailment, clinical features, investigations, management and potential complications that may be linked to this one problem.

In short this book is concise, succinct and gets straight to the point, it also has a handy section at the back to revise for examination questions.

From my perspective it is ideal as a reference whoever uses this and as a Student Nurse this can be utilised to aid medical understanding and ultimately promote better patient care.

I liked this book. I didn't use it as much as I thought I would but it was useful having a smaller reference book (although not pocket-size by a long shot! Read more
