Review
Now in its sixth edition, the 'Cheese & Onion' (as it is known) is approaching its 20th birthday, and continues to be the most popular handbook for both the undergraduate and the junior doctor on the wards ... The reason this little book remains so popular is that most topics are covered succinctly on a two-page spread of the book, and coloured headings break up the text and provide a logical structure for readers of all levels. Not only has the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine aided in the diagnosis and treatment of countless patients, it has also helped thousands of students prepare and pass examinations. Size isn't everything, and that certainly is true here. Common clinical questions are answered clearly and extensively, while weird and wonderful conditions, which are rarely encountered, also get a good crack at the whip. They say the proof is in the pudding, and the fact that this book has sold more than a million copies worldwide speaks volumes. Hospital Doctor This handbook goes from strength to strength as each edition keeps abreast of the breathtaking advances in clinical practice ... It comes with the now familiar plastic flexicover which means it can take rough handling. It is ideal for junior hospital doctors, medical students and GPs and is packed with practical, easy to read advice ... it is a huge topic and a bold task to cover it in such a small portable volume but like the preceeding editions, it manages this admirably well ... It is packed with facts, knowledge and most important of all, it is an intensely practical book. If you are stuck on what to do next in managing a patient, this is the book to look up ... There is no padding here; it is fact, solutions and advice all the way. All the information is very modern, relevant and presented in a highly readable format. It is ideal for both hospital doctors, GPs and their registrars and is superb value for money. Dr Harry Brown ... this is one of the most useful books you can own if you are involved in the day-to-day management of patients and conditions ... Get it! Now! Imperial College of Medicine Gazette

Product Description
The "Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine" covers all areas of internal medicine and provides rapid, on-the-spot access to evidence-based clinical management. Its characteristic style - combining incisive guidance with wit, a lucid style, and memorable epigrams - has been popular with generations of medical students and junior doctors the world over. There are a host of new features in this edition: new sections on common acute medical symptoms, and clinical skills; a new 'cheat sheet' on commonly used drugs; more colour plates, and more ECGs. There are numerous other updates and improvements throughout, many suggested by extensive market research. The pages have been redesigned in full colour. A new junior co-author has ensured that the text is just right for its market and tells medicine 'as it is'; and a panel of senior readers has approved every section. The "Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine" is an utterly reliable 'friend in the pocket', any time of the day or night!

It has all the prerequisites necessary; it's concise, it has all the information you need to identify , and manage all manner of complaints and all in a pocket size book. Other books sit on the shelf and gather dust whereas this will stick with you for your formative years when you are still figuring out the gaps in your education. Nothing else will ever come close except for a new edition perhaps. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It contains a new chapter on radiology, new information on how to handle common calls and a wider coverage of medications and doses, clinical skills and surgery. The best feature has to be the integrated colour illustrations with pictures and cartoons; and tons of radiographs, CT images, MR1 images etc. The layout is very reader friendly. This is an invaluable study aid for plab and all medical exams. It also has a PDA version, and web links from the book for instant access to evidence based clinical information. This is a must have and if you have a previous edition it is worth the upgrade. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Parwaiz (Leicester) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine (Oxford Handbooks Series) (Turtleback) This book covers all areas of internal medicine and surgery in a clear concise way and whats more is that its easy to carry around when your on the wards. This book covers everything from aetiology, epidemiology, clinical features through to the necessary investigations and management of varying conditions. I dont actually know a medical student who doesn't own it! Perfect for medical students for several reasons: - Easy to carry - Includes medical pneumonics (they make its so much easier to remember) - concise - makes a great revision tool to test your clinical partner - covers such a broad spectrum of topics - the radiographs, CT images, MRI section is definately worth a read!! - it contains evidence-based medicine with easy links to websites ...could it be any better??
