This is an essential pocket sized-guide to medicine and surgery . Very handy like its name "pocket book" and unlike other books that claimed pocket but they turn out to be very heavy and big, this book is not too big nor thick and quite light. Quite thorough and straight forward with some color illustrations of some diseases. Perfect for those who need quick references during practise at the clinic or night shift at Emergency department.
This book is very good that i wish I had it long time ago (long before my convertion exam so I've got some more time to read trough this book) just bought it from e-bay for 20 pounds just because everybody has it.
