Figures and illustrations have been carefully revised and updated in response to reader feedback, and key references fine-tuned to include only the most up-to-date and pertinent.

Review Quotes
'THE best book that a medical student could ever use. Everything is so easy to find, and is just enough depth for me!'
--Alexander Wibberley, 3rd year medical student, University of Leeds
"Created initially from a medical students final revision notes. Concise, balanced, practical and plastic-covered to repel unmentionable liquids and yet containing enough humility and humanity for its voice to be that of a supportive experienced friend rather than a critical professor."
--Professor Max Watson, eHospice
