excellent reading for acute medicine, MRCP and beyond (Rating 5 of 5)
» bigflat
This new book deals with acute presentations of neurological problems in a case based format. It is co-authored by an acute general physician, neurologist and neuroradiologist.
My desire as a medical SHO is that a book of this type doesn't leap straight to the use of MRI for every case which essentially takes out the skill of producing a useful differential diagnosis for neurological presentations.
Fortunately the authors have struck this balance carefully and there is always an extensive discussion of the differential diagnosis including common medical problems such as hypothyroidism.
The radiology images are small but of excellent quality, aided by decent paper and binding.
Overall I found this book vey enjoyable to read and highly informative. Having recently completed the MRCP, i think i would have found it useful for revision - particularly for the part 2 written
