An excellent mix of surgical and medical cases at a level that would make it useful not only to undergraduate students but also update trainees in their first couple of years post-graduation. Dr Jessica White, School of Medicine, University of CambridgeThis book's uniqueness - and its educational value - stems from the way that the authors have approached the learning aspect from direct clinical symptoms, highlighting the most important differential diagnoses but also explaining how to differentiate them. This approach represents the book's real strength, mirroring as it does the integrated systems-based approach that is commonly used by many medical schools. In my experience as a clinical teacher, course organiser, and examiner over the past decade, this is the first book that has attempted to bring together, and explain from a basic science concept, the reasons for the clinical picture or condition... An excellent book written with a refreshing clinical approach that provides the reader with the important key facts. Mr Christopher Chan, Senior Lecturer/Honorary Consultant Surgeon, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry
