Product Description

Product Description

Ever thought that memorizing the list of all the investigations to do for a medical condition were 'BUMMERS' to recall? Not now that you remember that this is also the acronym for Bloods, Urine, Microbiology, Monitoring, ECG, Radiology, Surgical and Special! Mnemonics often bridge the gap between traditional modes of revision and the ability to perform well in exams and in practice. This revision book uses mnemonics to help you memorize multiple lists and copious facts to the lengthy lists and facts of modern medicine. This book takes an original approach to applying well-established psychological techniques in memory enhancement to the contents of standard medical text-books. Using a wide variety of techniques including chunking, acronyms, tree-diagrams and pictures, it is packed full of information on all aspects of the medical undergraduate syllabus. Facts are presented in a hierarchial fashion, so that the essential features of each disease or symptom can be grasped immediately, while finer points are accessed only by more detailed reading. Mnemonics have been devised to be memorable in themselves, e.g. hepatitis = T.A.B.O.O.; atrial fibrillation = A.T.R.I.A.L. S.W.I.T.C.H.; and the terms are presented in the order that they make sense to be remembered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful!!, 30 Sep 2008
By Paul Hine "pablo_h1" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The reviewer below criticizes this book for lacking info on certain conditions. The book doesn't proport to be a complete "medical textbook", but offers a way of memorizing things, and is a useful tool to base some, but not all your revision around. If you're looking for a book that does ALL of medicine, you'll be looking for a long time, and you'll miss the point of revising: which is to distill and simplifly what the big textbooks tediously detail, so that you can focus on the most important facts required at the undergrad level!

2.0 out of 5 stars not a very good book., 28 May 2008
By Mr. Jon Fenton "cold monkey" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Avoid this book if your thinking of revising for medical finals. There are a lot of key topics that are missing, i.e. meningitis, subarachnoid haemorrhage. For conditions like epilepsy and stroke, that will feature big in the exams, information on treatment is very inadequate (too simplified). This is surprising given it was written by a neurology SpR. A bit of a con, at least for revising medical students. Save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing.
What more can I say, this is an excellent book. Supplements your core clinical medicine text really well (Kumar and Clark or Davidson's or others). Read more
