Basic Medical Sciences for MRCP Part 1 3rd Edition

Very helpful for junoir drs writing exams

great book for passing MRCP

It provides a fairly comprehensive summary of all of the basic foundations of general medicine relevant for a physician trainee in a very compact format.However, proof reading left a lot to be desired. At first I assumed some dyslexia on the part of the proof reader(s), APPT instead of APTT, but then some fundamental factual errors were noted.Nowhere was this more apparent than in the epidemiology chapter. Multiple errors appeared on some pages, such as degrees of freedom in the denominator for standard deviation, basic definitions of numbers needed to treat, and definitions of positive predictive value.At least looking out for the typos will keep you awake!!

This is an excellent book for post graduate revision.

Useful BUT be careful when reading it, there are some mistakes (printing ones) some of which are fatal! it should be better revised.
