Editorial Reviews:

In the early 1980s, two junior doctors from Oxford noted down all the medical information they found valuable to keep. As medical students they learned most not from organised lecturers but from clinical sessions - on the ward and in clinic. Useful notes were written on scraps of paper, and it was from this that the original Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine was born. No other book has entered the hearts, minds and pockets of so many doctors and medical students the world over. Now in its 7th edition, the main features and essence of the original edition remain unchanged. Developed over 21 years, the Handbook encompasses the experience, knowledge and wisdom of more than 10 different authors. With its characteristic combination of incisive guidance, wit, a lucid style, and memorable epigrams, it continues to be the leading pocket reference of clinical medicine. The 7th edition is fully equipped for the modern doctor with a brand new design with integrated full-colour pictures on common problems such as rashes, scars and jaundice. There is a new chapter on radiology, new information on consent and how to handle common calls, and greater coverage of medications and doses, clinical skills and surgery. There are also numerous other updates and improvements throughout, many suggested by extensive market research and reader's feedback. Three new junior co-authors have been brought on board to ensure that the content reflects what readers really need. All in all, the latest Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is just what the doctor ordered.

Summary: Pen, stethoscope, OHCM, ready to go!
Comment: Own it and you'll forgive me if you think I'm carried a little bit away
Pros - really a pocket book, fits your coat and isn't heavy
Covers the main topics of Surgery, Emergencies, different Internal Medicine specialties (Neuro, Cardio, Rheuma, Infecto, . . . )in a great way
The first part is really awesome: not only for its bed-side manners, but for their words in critical thinking. It goes on and on: the authors remind you every other page that you're treating patients -flesh & blood people- not illnesses. And they don't do it in a "oh-boy-lecture" fashion, but with phrases and mind exercises
Cons- it was impossible to cover every disease here. But you`ll find some uncommon conditions in the eponymous section (which can prove useful while in the rounds or for the on-call-quizz-attending). And please keep in mind: it is NOT enough for learning Medicine. You still need to work hard and study. This a "reminder" for themes you've already read or an "introductory review" for the themes you'll eventually check afterwards.
Tip: buy it w/ OHCS Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties: Book and PDA Pack (Oxford Handbooks Series) and you're done! 'cause it includes the other main specialties as ENT, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Orthopedics...
