 An excellent medical reference October 30, 2002
37 out of 37 found this review helpful
Having bought and used the fourth edition since starting medical school nearly 6 years ago, one naturally hopes that the new edition does not need to be added to an already comprehensive and varied medical bookshelf. Unfortunately, only a naive student would follow this line of thought.
The most outstanding and dramatic change to this edition has to be the ability to access the FULL textbook (along with every single image, table etc.) online! Each textbook comes with an unique PIN number that allows one access to the 'kumarandclark' website. Furthermore, the very first page contains a list of websites that have up-to-date information regarding the subject matter in their respective chapters.
Only at closer inspection, can one really see the subtle differences between the fourth and fifth editions (for instance, the Acute Coronary Syndrome now replaces Unstable Angina in this new edition, an important distinction, especially with finals fast approaching!).
Perhaps, the only disappointing aspect of this new edition is the absence of the useful appendices found in the fourth edition. This is because of the new 'ethics and communication' chapter at the start of the book; probably useful for those starting medicine and those of us reaching the end. But still, there are other textbooks that are more useful in bringing across these areas of medicine.
All in all, with finals coming, this new edition ensures that the important imformation needed for finals is up-to-date. And thankfully, the colourful and 'easy-to-the-eye' layout is preserved, thus creating an invaluable medical reference.
A superb introduction to clinical medicine January 31, 1999

This updated edition provides an essential introduction to clinical medicine for medical students and other health care professionals. It is easy to read, with colour differentiated chapters.The text also summaries physiology, pathophysiology and clinical examination skills relevant to the subject. The summary boxes are invaluable revision aids. The only down side is that the text is too heavy to carry around with you! If you were to purchase just one book on clinical medicine for your course, this has to be the one!
Essential even in non-clinical years November 19, 2003
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Only being a first year medical student, I did at first ignore the clinical textbooks - I was only introduced to Kumar and Clark a couple of weeks ago, but I now find it essential for doing my weekly learning objectives! The style is incredibly easy to read, with good diagrams and well written text; for anyone who owns it, it is written in exactly the same style as Medical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Waller, Renwick, Hillier), another text I would strongly recommend. "Clinical" medicine is somewhat misleasing - it also explains many of the cell mechanisms associated with illnesses and various compound structures, as well as the actual illnesses and their respective drug treatments.
Informative yet easy to read! February 2, 2004

I finally bought this amazing book in my second year of studying medicine, mainly because I loved it so much and was fed up of carrying it home from University all the time. I found the book very useful in the first 2 years of my course to answer some of the clinical tasks we were set. The design and layout of the book is very appealing, making it easy to read. It contains lots of summary boxes with important information for revision.In my third year now, I still prefer this book to many other of the more complex (and somewhat boring) books. It is very easy just to pick up and read, even if you don't have work to do (that is something of a miracle for a medical book!). The online access is also invaluable. Really useful for when you don't have the book with you and you need to find medical information in a clear and concise manner. I found the website particularly useful for printing off tables and diagrams to scribble on or to stick on the wall to revise! If you're a medical student, don't hesitate to buy this book!
The Bible for medics May 28, 2006

This textbook was recommended by the med school in our first year and 3yrs later im still using it on a regular basis. There are only a very few things you won't find in here and thats probably because its too specialised for a general clinical textbook.
It is fondly called 'The Bible' amongst most of my fellow med students and it probably deserves the name.
A must have for any medic. Note: there is also the mini Kumar and Clark. Although i havent had a look at it myself you may want to consider it so you can carry it around on wards too..
