Reviews
Helped me pass my exams! 'Really grateful that I found this textbook as it definitely helped me not only pass my exams but do well in them. I was really struggling with the volume of material taught in 3rd year and was struggling to understand the material enough to answer longer questions such as MEQs. This book has a great range of cases and I found that it helped me answer MEQs correctly and concisely.' Amazon reviewer
Fantastic book for medical students! 'This book is a brilliant companion for medical students as they enter their clinical years. There is such a range of clinical presentations covered and is useful for learning and for revision. The top tips and questions all the way through are really useful. I wish I'd known about this book earlier!' Amazon reviewer
