Review: This book is for all medical students and junior doctors on the Foundation Program. The first part of the book is ‘Clinical presentations at a glance’, giving the symptoms and flow charts leading to diagnoses. The second part covers ‘Diseases and treatments at a glance’. Each topic has a double-page spread with key facts and accompanying tables, illustrations and diagrams. This new edition includes seven new topics, including ‘how to recognise the critically ill patient’, ventilation, painless loss of vision/blindness, allergic reactions, and imaging in respiratory and gastrointestinal disease.
