Review:
Review from previous edition: "...covers an amazing breadth of relevant topics..this new edition retains its brilliant usefullness...covers all spheres of general practice and is an ideal when a GP is stuck for an answer when the patient is in front of them or a consultant is imminent... like
a GP, this is a good all rounder, which will solve a significant majority of problems that is thrown at it. It can occupy a small bit of real estate on a desk or inside a bag...built to withstand a fair amount of use-which this book deserves. I would say it is ideal for practicing GPS, GP registrars
and practice burses and other primary health care professionals... this is for someone on the frontline who wants a friend to help them. This book is their friend."
--Dr Harry Brown, May 2014
"The book is thorough and comprehensive, yet easy to read and well written, illustrated by useful... figures and tables. It contains most of the medical information and knowledge you need for use in a general medical practice, both in day-to-day and emergency contexts."
--Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association, November 2014

--Doody's Notes, May 2014
"This handbook is one I wish I were able to author. It is clearly one of the best with its accurate and comprehensive fund of knowledge and its emphasis on the human aspect, written by compassionate educators. I highly recommend it to all clinicians on both sides of the Atlantic."
--Vincent F Carr Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
"Incredibly helpful in almost all situations, information well laid out and easy to find, engaging to read ... useful asides to aid memorisation, essential algorithms/reference intervals helpfully situated on front and back inside covers; a generally excellent and clearly very well-thought-out
book."
--Tom Dalton, University of Birmingham, UK
"I very much appreciated the very human and caring aspect it brings to clinical medicine, it's lovely to have the dry, biomedical material broken up with humorous, motivational and touching stories."
--Sam Siljee, University of Otago, New Zealand
"THE best book that a medical student could ever use. Everything is so easy to find, and is just enough depth for me!"
