Medicine and Surgery: An Integrated Textbook With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access

Medicine and Surgery is a stunning new hybrid textbook that has evolved as a direct response to the increasing integration of the two disciplines of medicine and surgery in today’s medical curricula. The advantage of this combined approach is it reduces the amount of reading by the elimination of repetition (and inconsistencies) to provide an integrated explanation of the common problems faced both by students during exams and clinicians in daily practice. This book’s greatest asset is the ability to illustrate that medical and surgical treatment options are actually part of a continuum in the management of disease. =Reviews "This is one of the best books I have ever read....I would highly recommend this textbook to medical students and junior doctors alike."
