Oxford Handbook of Neurology

I would imagine a junior doctor working in a neurology unit would definitely need this book. For a GP, there are sections which are well worth a read-take for example acute headache and acute vertigo both of which are very useful. These are just a couple of examples from what is a very helpful and readable book. * Glycosmedia *
