Review

"In the era of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and increasing patient access to medical literature it is essential that the clinician of the
twenty-first century can weigh up the evidence supporting their own practice and justify their clinical decisions. Another fantastic
edition of this book is very welcome." Adam Feather, Consultant & Senior Medical Lecturer, London
