Reviews
Review from previous edition This small but very pleasant book covers in a very individual and intelligent manner almost all daily gastrointestinal problems encountered in the clinic and on the wards...The authors are to be congratulated for having produced this must-have handbook which will be appreciated equally by junior doctors in training and by those immersed in busy hospital medical departments. * Digestive and Liver Disease * Overall, for any member of the multidisciplinary team working in this area who need a concise, easy to use reference book this ticks all the boxes. * ANTS Bulletin * Review from previous edition This is a very useful addition to the Oxford Handbook series, and advances in the field and section improvements justify this second edition...4 stars! * Doody's Notes *
