Synopsis

According to the late American preacher Samuel McChord Crothers, “The trouble with facts is that there are so many of them.” Nowhere is this saying more apposite than in medicine. Core Clinical Medicine is an intentionally short book aimed at the clinical student in his or her first clinical year. It is designed to be an accessible text that is easy to read from cover to cover, which gives the incoming student a non-specialized overview of the basics of general clinical medicine. The book covers the main pathological processes that can be at work, then considers the clinical disease that these processes bring to the different systems of the body.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This book provides an account of the basics of clinical medicine.

The content succeeds in giving a broad overview of medicine, thus enabling the incoming clinical student to grasp the main elements of serious human diseases in all the systems. This is an 'anti-specialist' book that is short, accessible and general.
