"As a medical student, I love this series of books! The chapters are concise and mean that you can really focus on the pathology you are interested in. " Amazon reviewer

There are case scenarios that guide through each pathology and their subsequent management and sections with integrated patient care pathways such as the DVLA etc which really put the medicine into context."
