This highly regarded textbook of medicine has gone from strength to strength since it first publication in 1987. This new fourth edition builds on and enhances the book's reputation and popularity with undergraduate and postgraduate medical students, practising doctors and students in allied health professions. The achievement of 'Kumar and Clark' is that it provides a detailed but comprehensible text that bridges the gap between purely introductory texts and larger reference works.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent medical reference, 30 Oct 2002
This review is from: Clinical Medicine (Paperback)
Having bought and used the fourth edition since starting medical school nearly 6 years ago, one naturally hopes that the new edition does not need to be added to an already comprehensive and varied medical bookshelf. Unfortunately, only a naive student would follow this line of thought.
The most outstanding and dramatic change to this edition has to be the ability to access the FULL textbook (along with every single image, table etc.) online! Each textbook comes with an unique PIN number that allows one access to the 'kumarandclark' website. Furthermore, the very first page contains a list of websites that have up-to-date information regarding the subject matter in their respective chapters.
Only at closer inspection, can one really see the subtle differences between the fourth and fifth editions (for instance, the Acute Coronary Syndrome now replaces Unstable Angina in this new edition, an important distinction, especially with finals fast approaching!).
Perhaps, the only disappointing aspect of this new edition is the absence of the useful appendices found in the fourth edition. This is because of the new 'ethics and communication' chapter at the start of the book; probably useful for those starting medicine and those of us reaching the end. But still, there are other textbooks that are more useful in bringing across these areas of medicine.
All in all, with finals coming, this new edition ensures that the important imformation needed for finals is up-to-date. And thankfully, the colourful and 'easy-to-the-eye' layout is preserved, thus creating an invaluable medical reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb introduction to clinical medicine, 31 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This updated edition provides an essential introduction to clinical medicine for medical students and other health care professionals. It is easy to read, with colour differentiated chapters.The text also summaries physiology, pathophysiology and clinical examination skills relevant to the subject. The summary boxes are invaluable revision aids. The only down side is that the text is too heavy to carry around with you! If you were to purchase just one book on clinical medicine for your course, this has to be the one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Too big for its boots, 28 Aug 2006
I have owned every issue of K&C since its first publication and have seen it getting larger by the years. It is the standard but I think med students need something more concise and readable to grasp the basics that are necessary early on. It needs to be more drastically edited or else it will just become a reference text while students read the smaller, more concise alternatives.
