Mini Kumar & Clark goes into its fifth edition! New to this best-selling, portable, quick reference to clinical medicine: fully updated in line with the latest edition of  Kumar & Clark s Clinical Medicine; new chapter on malignant disease; and, practical procedures and therapeutics taken into individual chapters as appropriate. From reviews of the previous edition: This really is an excellent medical textbook. It easily covers undergraduate medicine.Pocket Essentials is a great little book to review the night before you start on a rotation. It is small enough that you can easily read over the chapter and then appear on the ward with a good idea of what is going on.In short this book is concise, succinct and gets straight to the point.This book summarises everything you need to know: causes, diagnoses and treatments.I am finding this book very helpful and more importantly very concise. It has most things you need to know about common clinical pathologies.I turned to Pocket Essentials of Clinical Medicine as my clinical medicine reference guide - and what a guide! An excellent book, which gives you the clinical features, investigations and management for a whole variety of different illnesses. The book is clearly laid out, and even has normal blood chemistry values at the end. Do yourself a favour and buy this book!This mini paperback is a must for anyone studying medicine. It gives all the information one would need and all without the pain of carrying around a large book.I liked this book. It was useful having a smaller reference book to carry around on wards etcetera - 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."
