Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine (Paperback)

Summary Of The Book
Practicing medicine is not an easy task. Besides the complexity of the subject and the diverse conditions and medicines that have to be studied. there is an additional factor in this profession that makes it daunting. The doctors are directly responsible for lives.

As the authors point out, the scraps of practical wisdom thrown out by senior doctors during the years of internship and residency can be lost quickly from memory. So, when a situation arises when a particular piece of advice would have served well, the doctor cannot recall it.

Oxford Handbook Of Clinical Medicine collects and presents all the wisdom gained by the authors over years of practical experience. Besides this, they discuss the theory and principles of medicine. They explain how the practice of medicine has evolved over the ages.
