Synopsis

Beginning in medical school, nearly all physicians start their own so–called little black book system of relevant facts and opinions that they come across during their training. This book serves the same purpose as a "starter" notebook that students and residents may add to or modify as they encounter new information. This third volume incorporates suggestions made by readers of the previous editions and also has been reduced to comfortably fit into a student′s white coat pocket.

About this title

Review:

"Built as a solid scaffold on which to "hang" all other knowledge and details, I have only praise and admiration for a book that successfully combines evidence–based (as well as experience–based) "pearls" from lectures, journals and texts, whilst retaining fluidity of style and a user–friendly layout.

This guide cannot but be given a glowing recommendation to all clinical medical students and junior doctors as a more advanced companion to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine."

Guy′s Hospital Gazette<

"This is an excellent quick reference book to just about all of the conditions you are likely to come across while studying medicine, and not just primary care."

Sphincter, Liverpool Medical School Gazette

"For medical students and junior doctors on take or in out patients, the well–referenced and crisp presentation should prove an invaluable source of guidance."

Southampton Health Journal

Synopsis:

Nearly all physicians, as medical students, start a "little black book" system of relevant facts and opinions that they come across during their training. This book serves the same purpose as a "starter" notebook that students or residents may add to or modify as they encounter new information. The third edition incorporates suggestions made by readers of the first two editions and the size has been reduced to comfortably fit into a student's white coat pocket. The book features a logical alphabetical organization for easy access; over 6000 references, 1000 of which are new to this edition; and a unique LBB format for quick reference.
