Reviews for Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access
Davidsons Principles and Practice of Medicine
This book presents the essentials of medicine in a clear, comprehensive and easily accessible format; thereby making it ideal as a core text and as a revision tool. It is divided into two major sections, as suggested by the title; the first, Principles of Medicine, covers the mechanisms of health and disease, together with the 'professional and ethical principles underlying medical practice'. The second section Practice of Medicine, deals with the major medical specialities. Within this part the book is then organized by system, and each chapter begins with an overview of the key elements in the clinical examination. Key features include the 'Clinical Examination overview', 'Practice Point summaries which give information about the practical skills needed, 'Emergency' boxes to emphasise the core knowledge required to manage acutely ill patients. Chapters also include many evidence-based medicine boxes which encapsulate the results of systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials in key therapeutic areas. 'In Old Age' boxes emphasise the key aspects of medical practice in the older population. And new in this edition are the 'In Pregnancy' boxes (within relevant chapters). This ensures that horizontal themes are embedded throughout the book.
The illustrations and diagrams are an outstanding feature of this textbook, and incorporate up-to-date imaging techniques, colour photographs and highly informative line drawings.
Being part of the Student Consult family ensures there is plenty of accompanying electronic material to enhance your learning experience. This includes access to full text on-line; a complete image library; self-assessment questions including self-testing questions whose answers are linked to the online text; a drugs database; and integration links allowing access to relevant information in other student consult titles.
I could not find fault with this book and think it certainly gives Kumar and Clark a run for its money! by GG
