4.0 out of 5 stars ABC of ENT, February 17, 2008

This review is from: ABC of Ear, Nose and Throat (ABC Series) (Paperback)

This is an excellent text for medical students studying Ear, Nose and Throat. It covers all the basics and is suitable even for junior doctors, especially those who are doing an ENT job as part of a rotation in General Practice inthe UK. It will not be adequate for juniors planning a career in ENT or for specialist registrars (Key Topics in Otolaryngology is far more in depth).

Nonetheless it is a well written and concise text. The chapter on facial pain (contributed by prof N Jones) is particulary useful as it debunks many myths about the link between facial pain and sinusitis.
