Summary: Concise Oxford textbook of medicine
Comment: This textbook is a one volume textbok of medicine based on the wellknown, renowned and established Oxford Textbook of Medicine (OTM). Two of the three original editors have selected, organized and restructered the content into a more practical and handy volume with the chapters updated and re-written with a practical focus in mind. The OTM is now in its fourth edition, three volumes and therefore not the first choice of book for the medical student or the young physician in training with a busy schedule. That has been the rationales behind this condensed version.
The book is in twenty sections: Starting out with pain management (for some unknown reason), cardiology, hematology, respiratory disease, gastroenterology, metabolic disorders, endocrine disease, nutrition, disorders of the skeleton, rheumatology, diseases of the skin, nephrology, neurology, psychiatry, palliative medicine, infectious disease, sexually transmited disease, chemical and physical injuries and environmental factors and disease, geratology and finally forensic medicine. Each section will usually have many chapters with specific subjects.
Looking in depths at the first and last chapters we found a good review with practical applications to every day clinical life. Looking at other chapters with questions in our daily clinical activities, during this review period, we found an international approach, readable, informative chapters and a good practical index. We think the editors have done a hard, but wonderful job, which will benefit many students and young phycicians in general medicine and practice. The Concise Oxford textbook of medicine should be a good choice for the medical student, the busy hospital physician or the general practitioner in family medicine.
