Review
"This faithful companion to medical students and doctors alike has evolved into its fifth edition. As always it remains reliably concise, informative and easy to use....It doesn't excel itself as a textbook of medicine, but I think it is one of the best guides as to how to practice medicine as a junior doctor."Northwing (University of Sheffield Medical School Gazette)
"Overall I can recommend the Oxford handbook of Clinical Medicine to anyone who anticipates attending a ward round or clinic."Northwing (University of Sheffield Medical School Gazette)
