Kumar and Clarks Clinical Medicine in

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. :)

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..

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.

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

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.
