Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery

Review from previous edition Instead of throwing you in the deep end filled with anxiety, as you would feel on a ward with an actual patient, Oxford Cases gives you mnemonics and walks you through all of the red flags you should be looking out for. * MedSaint, University of St Andrews *Every year, close to exams, students have no idea what to use as studying materials and scramble around for resources. The Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery might just come in handy… The answers are well presented with references to diagnostic guidelines, and also come with easily digestible mnemonics. * Liting Tong, Northwing Magazine - Sheffield University Medical Students’ Magazine *Like the Matrix films, when I study medicine I wish that I could download medical knowledge into my memory. Until medical science invents such a device or google becomes implanted into our occipital lobes, I thoroughly recommend the Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery. * Tom Rock, BMA Medical Student Representative, University of Bristol; West of England Medical Journal *This is an outstanding teaching tool. The cases provoke much thought and there is a clear explanation of the “correct” answers and why other answers are not as correct. * Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, USA), Doody’s Notes *
