There are other books which also cover similar material and perhaps have more photos/pictures, but I find that in particular, this book is good for getting information across quickly and in an organised manner. The topics are arranged in the format of exam revision headings, and within each topic, clear headings, subheadings and bullet points make memorising for exams so much less taxing! I would definitely recommend this useful tool as a textbook to read when preparing for stressful exams e.g. MRCPCH 1.Amazon customer review of first editionTable of ContentsGenetics. Immunology.

TFM Publishing Ltd Cut to the Chase: 100 Matrix Pearls for Doctors
Book SynopsisMatrix pearls are the glue that holds medicine together. They are the valuable kernels of wisdom and experience that guide physicians through the complexities of modern medical practice. This book takes the grand oral traditions of medicine and records them as valuable lessons. Most of these pearls arise from heated discussions at the morbidity and mortality (audit) conference, on hospital rounds, in hallway discussions or in the physicians' lounge. Many arise in the privacy of the consultation room or from family discussions. These lessons are usually lost. They are seldom recorded and have never been catalogued. Dr Leo Gordon, distils a thirty-year career in medicine into one hundred witty, poignant and eminently readable essays. Students, nurses, administrators and physicians of all specialities will find in this book a delicious view of the ups and downs of life in medicine. Patients will get a rare look into the thoughts of medical practitioners. This is an indispensable guide through the world of today's medicine.

TFM Publishing Ltd The Medical & Surgical Residency Survival Guide:
Book SynopsisAre you a medical student on the cusp of graduation from medical school who is soon to embark upon a journey through residency training? Are you an intern or junior resident muscling through the early years of your formative residency training? If so, this book was written exclusively for you. The transition from medical school to residency training is a challenging and transformative experience that will come rushing toward you like a run‐away freight train. Life as a resident physician is drastically different to what most experience during their clinical rotations in medical school. Medical school can sometimes feel like an extension of your undergraduate college experience; however, residency is an entirely different animal. You will undoubtedly approach this transition into residency with a combination of raw emotion to include enthusiasm and eagerness but also trepidation and apprehension. This survival guide will serve to temper these emotions and transform them into a sense of confidence as you progress forward. This book is a focused, honest, and straightforward text that addresses the unique challenges encountered in residency training and more importantly discusses a number of strategies to facilitate tactful navigation of these challenging waters. It has been crafted into an easily digestible volume which concisely outlines a combination of principles that will inevitably produce a winning strategy to be a highly motivated, readily adaptable, and successful trainee. The thoughts expressed in this book will spur invaluable self‐reflection and enable the reader to fabricate an armamentarium of weaponry that can be tactically applied in the trenches of clinical warfare as well as to develop the strength, perseverance, and endurance to surge forward when the going gets tough. Some of this advice is frank, blunt, and brutally honest, but will be instrumental in maintaining an even keel throughout the grueling training process and prevent the reader from making some of the same mistakes that the author himself naively committed. Despite the differences that distinguish the numerous specialties of medicine and surgery, each chapter of this book contains valuable insight that all trainees can draw from regardless of specialty. By utilizing and employing the tools discussed, opportunities presented throughout the course of your residency training and beyond can be translated into successes that you will continually be able to build upon, hone, and polish throughout your career as a respected and well-rounded physician and professional.Trade ReviewThe Medical & Surgical Residency Survival Guide: How to Build a Tactical Advantage for Success embodies the authoritative compass to direct all levels of obligation and expectations for the professional student/resident following their acceptance of the highest level of responsibility expectant of humanity a physician who by definition has assumed the most arduous and responsibility-laden task that can befall an individual. The author has been most successful in formulating, within eight sections, the 34 chapters that provide foundational advice for medical students and medical/surgical residents with their directives and expectations of the different levels of commitment, responsibility, and accountability. Encouraged as a must-read text for one considering entry to medical school and as the requisite text for the student entering accredited residency training. Kirby I. Bland MD FACS, Professor of Surgery and Chair Emeritus, UAB Department of Surgery, Birmingham Alabama, USA.Residency can be a time of wonder, learning and fulfilment; or, alternatively, anxiety, stress and panic. Like everything in life, learning some easy rules to follow, and some little tricks, can make your life more like the former, and less like the latter. Why would you not read this book before approaching your residency? Jonothan J. Earnshaw DM FRCS, Editor in Chief, British Journal of Surgery.ALL medical trainees repeatedly face complex decisions and challenges in the educational environment. This novel little book is chock-full of survival advice and practical points for interacting with the many professors, peers, colleagues, critics, and observers of the almost continuous rites of passage. It is best read in short excerpts, just before a targeted encounter to maximally learn lessons recorded by others in similar conditions. Many of the tidbits of advice are similar and often repeated, as the survival pearls are often very similar and worthy of being remembered. Kenneth L. Mattox MD, Distinguished Service Professor, Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, and Chief of Staff/Chief of Surgery at the Ben Taub General Hospital, Houston, Texas, USA.Dr. McMahons book, The Medical & Surgical Residency Survival Guide provides a compact and easy-to-read guide to succeeding during residency, with practical and honest advice on how to balance the rigors of medical/surgical training and personal care needs. No matter your specialty, you will benefit from heeding the advice contained in this book, which would maximize both the educational opportunities during training, as well as your overall professional development. I wish such a book were available when I first started residency myself! As a physician-mentor who works closely with international medical students, I find this book especially useful for international medical graduates who will pursue postgraduate clinical training in the United States. Kris Siri Siriratsivawong, MD FACS, General Surgeon, Department of Medical Education, Showa University, Tokyo, Japan.Beginning residency training is an intimidating venture in the best of circumstances. While well prepared in the basics of medical care, the actual how to do much of anything can be elusive if not downright impossible to discern for the new resident. A good go to handbook that offers a game plan for the long haul with advice about specific hurdles along the way would be a major benefit to the junior and intermediate level resident. Dr. McMahon, recently graduated from a general surgical residency, provides such a handbook. The text is short and to the point. In his forward Dr. McMahon is clear that his goal is to drive home important points that will allow the resident physician to be successful both professionally and personally. Each chapter addresses a specific aspect of residency training, emphasizes why it is important and suggests strategies for coping with the physical and emotional stresses imposed. The book is divided into parts with labels like Rules of Engagement and Professionalism. Chapters talk about how to talk to patients and their families, an especially difficult task when dealing with advanced diseases or complications. Equally important are chapters that address how to maintain your own sanity. How do you protect your own wellness and that of loved ones and friends around you? How you deal with your finances is an excellent addition to this text as it is often overlooked. The book concludes with thoughts on how to assure your continuing education, something necessary for the rest of your life. Lastly, is the reminder that as physicians we are called on to develop the next generation and to embrace that mentorship task enthusiastically.This book is a quick read with short chapters that facilitate just in time reading when looking for fast advice. Dr. McMahons style is concise and shows his military background but is laced with real experiences that drive home the points being made. This book fills a real void and is a worthwhile addition to the reading of any junior or intermediate level resident. The text is at times humorous, at times reminiscent of difficult clinical circumstances, but consistently pointing the way to successful and fulfilling completion of residency training and launching a post residency career. Leonard J. Weireter Jr., MD FACS, Professor, School of Health Professions, Medical Director of the Sentara Center for Simulation and Immersive Learning, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA, USA.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Literary Meditations for Pandemic Times:
Book SynopsisThroughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many new techniques for remaining healthy have been introduced, but there has been little to no public discussion about how to live well. "Social distancing" is good medicine for the body, but the health of the spirit depends on wisdom. When we find ourselves in new and dangerous conditions, we can only look to the past for counsel.In this book, originally published as Plague Literature and now in its second edition, the philosopher Dustin Peone offers reflections on ten literary classics set during plague times. From each work, he draws one central insight that is applicable to our situation today and all future pandemics. These insights are lessons in prudence, taught by the sages of the past. This is a book about how to pursue the good life during a pandemic and what it means to flourish in dark times, not just to survive.
