Kumar and Clark Clinical Medicine

"Love the book, however a number of pages in my copy havent printed and are left blank; between pages 1070 and 1100. Has anyone else had this problem?"

"Ok, so this book is massive...I commonly refer to it as the bible for medical students. If your after a reference book then this is it, it has loads of information. One of the plus sides is that it contains not only clinical conditions but it also mentions some physiology e.g. functions of liver, control of calcium metabolism so get you get more for your money!!

It contains a LOT of information - which sometimes makes it incredibly difficult to read and often has a tendency to bog you down with loads of detail (which lets be fair you probably wont remember).

The smaller 'Saunder's pocket essentials of clinical medicine' aka 'baby Kumar and Clarke' is a watered down version of this book and is much more concise and user friendly giving the information that i think you really need to know.

if you have this book i don't doubt that you wont use it...but i also dont think that it is a necessity!"

"Have read and reread this many times, but there are a few gaps and you wish there was more clinical correlation rather than what seems to be a text recitation! Not clinically astute enough. But then again, is there a better undergrad/postgrad book out there???"

"This book is an essential read or atleast a dip into reference book. A fundamental building block for Medical students, however it is also an excellent book for Paramedics and i recomend it highly"
