Medicine is one of the vast subjects in the mbbs curriculum and the textbooks are so big that it becomes difficult for an undergraduate to revise from the textbooks prior to exams. This book with its concise presentation while covering the entire curriculum helps the students to grasp the subject at a fast pace and also helps them in revision during their exams. It follows a question and answer format which is followed by the examiner in framing questions. The third edition has been substantially revised and updated incorporating the most recent knowledge in the subject. Almost every chapter has been revised or rewritten and many new topics in each chapter have been added. It is hoped that this edition will fulfill all the needs of an undergraduate medical student. In addition, the basic concepts presented in this edition will be useful to the postgraduate students also. The third edition provides a new and comprehensive update of medicine. - from Amzon
