5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 12 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Dont be fooled by the appearance. This book is packed full of information and it is presented in a much more logical and readable way than kumar. Read kumar and u just learn a lot of facts, read Davison's and you understand medicine.

4.0 out of 5 stars the downside, 12 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine: With Student Consult Access (Paperback)
Having read the glowing and slightly one-sided reviews of Davidsons's i would like to point out some problems:
The chapter on infection and immunity contains nothing about clinical immunology - it is surprising that the book misses this out completely and the chapter should be renamed infection and HIV. Also there is no section on molecular medicine although aspects of this crop up throughout the text.
The two page spreads on clinical examination are momentarily interesting but ultimately nowhere near detailed enough to be of significant value. The one on the GALS screen is useful however. The section on psychiatry is also of dubious value. This is because it is so brief as to make it insignificant in relation to what is required of medical undergraduates who have a module in psychiatry. (Kumar has a far more detailed and useful section on psychiatry)
The section on frail older people is also so brief as to render it useless and does not contain anything useful about the new international classification of functioning and health.
Overall it seems as though this latest edition is slightly dumbed down but nevertheless contains excellent chapters on clinical medicine such as on cardiology and haematology. Although even there detail is missing such as what a malar flush looks like. The neurology chapter is also a little brief in helping to determine where a lesion is.
Overall though, its still the best clinical medicine text!

5.0 out of 5 stars Accessible, informative and very attractive, 7 Feb 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine: With Student Consult Access (Paperback)
If you are studying clincial medicine then buy this book. You won't regret it. Your colleagues will say Kumar is bigger and better; take pity on them.
The text is hugely accessible and informative and mostly comprehensive. The page layout is excellent with very appropriate use of tables and pictures. The book is visually delightful and even has better paper quality than Kumar. Reading it is a pleasure. The only ommision is a chapter on molecular medicine which was present in the previous edition. Much of the information has been relocated to other chapters but nevertheless, the molecular basis chapter was useful for revising preclinicals. The rest of the book easily makes up for this however and greatly facilitates strong exam and viva performance
