Indispensable - By: D. O'KANE, 09 May 2008 
Have had every edition & I still carry a copyin my bag. Anyone doing acute takes who thinks they don't need to reflect on some aspects of some cases will come to grief. I am reassured when I see junior docs carrying a well worn copy.
Brilliant - By: Louise, 05 Feb 2008 This new book is even better than the 6th edition as its tiny! Meaning it's even easier to putin your bag/pocket & delve into on ward rounds/acute takes when your unsure of diagnosis/what to do next!
possible, THE best medical book out there...of all time - By: aizomc27, 03 Jan 2008 Guys, & gals, this book doesn't even need an introduction. Being only a 2nd year medic, I thought I'd get this now for later usuage, but it really has helped me out so much already. From the handy revision of essential anatomy & physiology for key conditions, to the layout, including advice on OSCEs, emergencies & much more, this book truly is a life saver, & should be given to every 1st year medical student, as it will benefit them for the rest of their career. What are you waiting for, buy it now, & lap it up!! Invaluable!!
Must have for med students!! - By: Ms. R. Parwaiz, 30 Dec 2007 This book covers all areas of internal medicine & surgeryin a clear concise way & whats more is that its easy to carry around when your on the wards. This book covers everything from aetiology, epidemiology, clinical features through to the necessary investigations & management of varying conditions. I dont actually know a medical student who doesn't own it!
Perfect for medical students for several reasons:
- Easy to carry
- Includes medical pneumonics (they make its so much easier to remember)
- concise - makes a great revision tool to test your clinical partner
- covers such a broad spectrum of topics
- the radiographs, CT images, MRI section is definately worth a read!!
- it contains evidence-based medicine with easy links to websites
...could it be any better??
The best ever, a must have - By: Uenna, 28 Jul 2007 This 7th edition of OHCM, while retaining the much loved concise & essence of the previous editions has been greatly revised, improved & updated. It contains a new chapter on radiology, new information on how to handle common calls & a wider coverage of medications & doses, clinical skills & surgery. The best feature has to be the integrated colour illustrations with pictures & cartoons; & tons of radiographs, CT images, MR1 images etc. The layout is very reader friendly. This is an invaluable study aid for plab & all medical exams. It also has a PDA version, & web links from the book for instant access to evidence based clinical information. This is a must have & if you have a previous edition it is worth the upgrade.
