A pocketbook of clinical medicine, this book is the ideal companion for the medical student during clinical training. The text is highly readable and concentrates on the medical conditions most commonly seen in clinical practice.

It is the ideal revision book, and is linked to the fourth edition of Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine by means of page cross references.
