KUMAR AND CLARK'S CLINICAL MEDICINE (INTERNATIONAL EDITION)

Very informative.. if you love to read books and want a paragraph story like telling of diseases then this book will be great for you..

I already had Davidson (older edition) , so I was looking for an alternative (other than Harrsion's , for obvious reasons.). This book is universally recognised , so there's no problem regarding authorative power of the text. I tried to compare this book with Davidson's and found some pros and cons.Pros:- Physiology of respective system is explained explained excellently at the start of the chapter.- Superb diagrams.- In certain diseases , pathogenesis/pathophysiology given is better as compared to Davidson's.- Not filled with way too much boxes like Davidson's.- The focus on dosage , drug regimen is sometimes better than Davidson's in case of certain diseases. (Especially infections.)Cons:- Epidemiological data concerning India is missing , epidemiological data of UK is mostly given.- Some boxes, like for differential diagnoses are missing , which are given liberally in Davidson's.- Davidson's is better if you want to go through a disease for the first time in very less time. (Like just before a lecture or ward.)Conclusion: If you love to read , don't like pages filled with boxes , get Kumar and Clark's , you'll definitely not regret it. :)

it gives medicine a different kind of taste, more into patient experience rather than summarising nature of harrison. would recommend for every physiciian to go through once.

The media could not be loaded. Book was delivered in a beautiful condition..No scratches and all....The writing is very simple and it's like you are in a class itself listening to your professor.

Cover is looking old, but pages are new, and scartch code for videos in inkling app is also available with the book !

I like its concept building feature

Excellent

-I was searching for years for a Medicine book which I just want to read and read with a big smile on face as if I am reading any storybook of disease and its management and guess what, this book stands out to be exactly what I wanted.-They included clinical practice methods at the beginning of each topic with relevant history taking and leading questions with do's and don't you would be asking to patients, which I found too much useful for loving the subject with a clinical overview-With color-coding over Introduction, Etiology, Pathogenesis, Investigation, and Management so much organized as if I am reading any typed out notes-The language is so lucid and to the point that you don't have to google it for the meaning-Images on this book are top-notch-Quality of the papers are not glossy which I found useful for marking with pencil and antiglare protection from artificial light-I am already having Davidson, the major difference what I found is that if you want in-depth knowledge with better understanding and zero confusion by not hovering over the boxes then this would be quite useful and trust me even if you read this book from the library for once after reading the same topic from Davidson you would get the difference-As a whole, if you want to learn Medicine and retain foreverKumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine is the one to go for after Harrison which is Bible for sure-I simply loved this book and for me, it's a miniature version of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine the more you read the more you would be getting your answers..."Medicine is only for those who cannot imagine doing anything else - Dr. Luanda Grazette"
