Own it and you’ll forgive me if you think I’m carried a little bit away
Pros – really a pocket book, fits your coat and isn’t heavy
Covers the main topics of Surgery, Emergencies, different Internal Medicine specialties (Neuro, Cardio, Rheuma, Infecto, . . . )in a great way
The first part is really awesome: not only for its bed-side manners, but for their words in critical thinking. It goes on and on: the authors remind you every other page that you’re treating patients -flesh & blood people- not illnesses. And they don’t do it in a “oh-boy-lecture” fashion, but with phrases and mind exercises
Cons- it was impossible to cover every disease here. But you`ll find some uncommon conditions in the eponymous section (which can prove useful while in the rounds or for the on-call-quizz-attending). And please keep in mind: it is NOT enough for learning Medicine. You still need to work hard and study. This a “reminder” for themes you’ve already read or an “introductory review” for the themes you’ll eventually check afterwards.
Tip: buy it w/ OHCS Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties: Book and PDA Pack (Oxford Handbooks Series) and you’re done! ’cause it includes the other main specialties as ENT, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Orthopedics…
