Kaplan's Clinical Hypertension

"Kaplan's talent for sifting the enormous amount of hypertension research and presenting the important clinical aspects in a concise, readable form undoubtedly helps explain the popularity and longevity of his textbook....Besides being impressed with how current and extensively referenced the book is—the average number of references per chapter is 250—I enjoyed reading it. It has all the advantages of a single-author book: it is cohesive, has little redundancy, and flows well. I especially enjoyed the occasional passages in which Kaplan shares observations based on his experience and his admonitions to physicians, such as, 'Perhaps we can walk up that flight of stairs, just as an example to our patients.'....

Hutchison's Clinical Methods


Hutchison's Clinical Methods, first published over a century ago, is the classic textbook on clinical examination. It provides an outstanding source of learning and reference for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors. It seeks to teach an integrated approach to clinical practice, so that new methods and investigations are grafted onto established patterns of clinical practice, rather than added on as something extra. The text is organised so that both system-related and problem-oriented chapters are included. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, the essential skills needed for clinical examination, and for planning the appropriate choice of investigations in diagnosis and management.


Review:

A classic for all times

This book has been for many decades the bedrock of clinical skill education for many medical students and residents alike particularly with British oriented education. It is next only to the stethoscope in the must-have category. I find the layout in the recent editions particularly refreshing. The book maintains it's unique ability of providing useful and in depth background for clinical examinations as well as their various interpretation, while not overburdened you with unnecessary details. It played a significant role in my medical education and continues to provide useful and practical tips even in my practice.

What If Medicine Disappeared?


What If Medicine Disappeared?
State University of New York Press | January 10, 2008 | ISBN: 0791473058 | 233 pages | PDF | 5 MB

Argues convincingly, if counterintuitively, that modern medicine has little impact on longevity or mortality.

In this thought-provoking book, sociologists Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea ask what would happen if Western medicine were to disappear. Using a rigorous and imaginative method--a thought experiment--Markle and McCrea evaluate medicine's impact on mortality and our national health. They examine various aspects of medicine, such as primary care, surgery, emergency medicine, pharmaceuticals, and mental illness treatment, and convincingly point out the problems that health care actually causes. Supporting their ideas with statistics and studies from medical and social science literature, Markle and McCrea argue that the medical model, despite its tremendous budget and hype, accomplishes far less than most would think. Their conclusions should promote critical review and lively discussion among medical consumers as well as among health care professionals and policy makers.

Alan V. Parbhoo, What They Didnt Teach You at Medical School
Springer | ISBN: 1846284619 | 1 edition (January 2007) | 108 pages | PDF | 2.4 Mb

Essential information for all junior doctors.

You are close to qualifying or you have already qualified. You are prepared to take on the working world of referrals, hospital jobs and the pager. Medical school taught you clinical anatomy, but possibly not clinical diplomacy. You have learnt how to diagnose illness but not how to identify trouble on the ward, or more importantly, how to avoid it.

Written by a doctor concerned by how little medical school prepares you for the blunt reality of life in a hospital environment, What They Didn’t Teach You at Medical School is an indispensable guide to help you sidestep the pitfalls of the job and achieve the heights expected by all consultants.

Divided into concise, advice-packed chapters, readers will learn how to:

stop your pager going off

work well with other medical specialists

refer patients and prevent referrals being ‘bounced back’

keep your seniors smiling

get on with nurses

get a job and a career path

This book will help you in becoming an experienced doctor, impressing your peers and helping you fast-track your career. Above all, this guide will help you to hit the ground running and give you a head start in the increasingly competitive medical world.
Written for:
Medical students and newly qualified doctors, house officers
