Críticas

The book explains everything with simplicity and even the Jugular Venous Pressure appears doable after a read of the chapter on the cardiovascular system. I especially liked the explanation of all the abbreviations used in medical notes. Practical information like this separates the book from others and after having read numerous clinical skills books during Phase 1, this is by far my favourite. ... this book is the best of its kind available. (Louise Murphy,(phase 3) Cambridge Medical Journal)

The book feels as though you are at the bedside being taught by a doctor. (Nicole Ward, Medical Student, Manchester)
