5 Star Reviews:
"A great book for both pre-clincial and clinical alike and at a very reasonable price." Amazon reviewer
"A comprehensive overview of respiratory medicine aimed at medical students but also suitable for junior doctors as a refresher. Covers the speciality in breadth including radiological examples, microbiology and the basic physiology behind the respiratory system and associated conditions." Amazon reviewer
"Brilliant book that includes all aspects of respiratory medicine you would need three books for! The mix of physiology, anatomy and clinical skills in the book makes it a very useful to use through-out a respiratory rotation in medical school." Amazon reviewer
