"I honestly believe this book is a must for any medical student fed up of spending a fortune on text books and a lifetime in lectures."

This book is a compilation of every bit of useful information that I have learnt during my time in medicine. It covers virtually every specialty and is organised into easily understandable chapters. Each speciality is split into the following sections:

History taking: what questions to ask, how to ask them, why you are asking them, plus tips to easily remember histories and to impress examiners

Performing examinations: detailed step by step instructions on how to perform a perfect clinical examination, what you are looking for, why you are performing each step, and how to look confident and faultless in your OSCEs

Revision: put simply these sections contain key knowledge about each specialty that is crucial to your learning as a medical student. They contain hints and tips throughout to help with your understanding of the subject and cut out all of the waffle found in other books. This makes them an invaluable source of information not only for your written exams, but as a quick reference in your junior doctor years

Medication: covers the major medications, in what situations they should be used, side effects and how each work on the body

Investigations: these sections detail the investigations you would order to support or disprove diagnosis, plus how to interpret and present the results, e.g. bloods, ECGs, X-rays, ABGs, and more

Appendix: the book also contains extensive appendices that are full of valuable information

Throughout the book I also refer to ‘tricks of the trade’ that my colleagues and I have found to be a great help throughout our careers

I am very proud of this book. I honestly believe that it will help you tremendously with your studies, and also save you time and money which may have been spent on buying and painstakingly reading through the other, overly complicated medical text books currently on the market
