Editorial Reviews

Review

"There's a need for this kind of book, especially one that's good value.. Ballinger and Patchett have written a mini Kumar and Clark: a potentially valuable resource for the clinical years"Review of second edition - Student BMJ
content is excellent. It is a pocket version of Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine, making it a serious competitor for other textbooks.
The text is impressivley detailed and exam-orientated, including a question and answer session that is ideal for on-the-go revsion.
...an excellent text, excellently produced." Mohammed Al-Ubaydli, National Center of Biotechnology Information, USA, Hospital Medicine, September 2003
book has been extremely useful so far on the first year of my medical course and I would recommend it with great confidence to any other medical student at any stage in their education. The book provides a very useful source of easily accessible information, in sufficient depth to allow an understanding of the necessities of a particular topic without overwhelming the reader with a mountain of facts." First Year Medical Student on Accelerated Medical Course, Newcastle University, January 2004
is nothing bad to say about this book!" Medical Student, Cardiff University
