Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties - Mini edition (Oxford Medical Handbooks)
`Review from previous edition Finally the new edition has arrived and in short it's brilliant.'  Northwing (Sheffield Medical School Magazine) June 2004`...what really sets the OHCS apart from your bog standard turgid textbook, is its sheer entertainment value...and ability to keep you reading...did you know for instance that the posh name for hypochondria with somatisation is Briquet's syndrome which is also known as fat file syndrome? Well now you do and you can impress your friends! For less than the price of a slap-up meal out, you too can be the proud owner of the OHCS - a bargain if ever I saw one.'  univadis.co.uk`This bad boy, chummily referred to as the "salt'n'vinegar" does exactly what it says on the packet, delivering all the specialties you will encounter in life as a clinical medical student. ... OHCS is concisely planned and organised, with a fantastic index. The wonderful dangly book-mark bits are there as ever, and OHCS is also usefully cross-referenced with the cheese'n'onion. ... I cannot over-emphasise how helpful this book is during our speciality blocks in 4th and 5th years. Highly recommended.'  SURGO, Glasgow University Medical Journal`... an invaluable quick reference guide, either for as a reminder of a condition or for more detailed facts. ... This is a book that has stood, and will no doubt continue to stand the test of time.'  Cambridge Medicine--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
