Pocket Essentials of Clinical Medicine (Pocket Essentials)

"One should have a larger book but for quick reference as a pocket/bag book its excellent for students and trainees and I have recently been encouraging my doctors to get one especially those doing GPVTS who would just not have the time or interest to wade through K&C. As such it's a slightly more gentle way to revise basic medicine. It is different to OHCM and fulfills a different need. "

"I liked this book. I didn't use it as much as I thought I would but it was useful having a smaller reference book (although not pocket-size by a long shot!) to carry around on wards etc - it's more digestible and easier to follow than big K & C, and gives a little more background than the oxford handbook - and I know people who use it to revise for finals."
