Medicine is a revolutionary core textbook designed with students for students.
Clinically-orientated and focused squarely on the core curriculum, Medicine delivers what medical students need to know in a manner that encourages learning. Medicine has evolved out of close collaboration and planning with students, junior doctors, and teachers. The result is something refreshingly different - the result is something quite unique.
Medicine successfully integrates basic science and clinical practice. The systems-based chapters all follow a common structure:
* Structure and Function - the essential basics that underpin each system
* Approach to the Patient - history and examination, clinical presentations, differential diagnosis and investigations
* Disease and their Management - all the common conditions that medical students need to know for future practice
This consistent, easy-to-navigate structure makes locating information simple and it is also tailored toward successful revision. All chapters have been updated and revised to follow the core curriculum and current medical practice. A new chapter on the Human Aspects of Medicine covers the principles of medicine, ethics, law and evidence-based medicine guidelines.
Individual colour-coded features make Medicine even easier to use:
* 'At a Glance' boxes: perfect for quick review and revision
* 'Clinical Presentations at a Glance': excellent summaries to develop your clinical problem-solving skills
* 'Key Points': alert you to essential information throughout
* 'Must Know' checklists: highlight the key learning objectives in each chapter
* 'Further Reading': your guide to clinical evidence from key books, journals and websites

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not enough information to give understanding
I've used this book for a year, but am currently looking for another book on internal medicine. I found the information in this book too shallow. Most of the chapters I read, I felt I got too little information about pathology and treatment, so I often had to look up in other books to fill out the blanks. I'm a person that has to understand what I read in order to learn it well. Nice charts are not enough. I was disappointed about this book, and I know many of my fellow students were too.
Rating: - Good all-round medical textbook
A complete, up-to-date textbook for medical students detailing everything needed to pass medicine exams feeling confident. The diagrams and at-a-glance sections are particularly helpful. There are more detailed books, but this covers everything necessary (and more) and what it does, it does well. Could be used either as a standard text or as a revision guide, due to the at-a-glance features. Easy to read and attractively laid out - this is a nice all-round medical textbook.
Rating:  - Great textbook
As a med student buying this book has saved me a lot of money, its the only medical reference to have lots of pictures, which is what you need especially for Derm & Ophth. No need to buy a picture book. "At A Glances" are brilliant!Highly recommended, its cheap too, as far as medical books go.
Rating: - Very clear overview of medicine
This book goes through the different chapters in medicine in a clear and thorough way, including anatomy, physiology, clinical topics and treatments. This book is even READABLE (unlike a lot of medical reference books) because of well spaced text, plenty of clear diagrams and pictures. Great for students or for a quick rehearsal, though a bit limited for practicing clinicians.
Rating: - best medicine text for students available
very clear diagrams, well set out, good pictures and "At A Glance" boxes make exam revision very easy. Highly recommend to any clinical student as a text or exam revision. Better than Kumar & Clark.
