Color Atlas & Text of Clinical Medicine 3/e maintains the tradition of previous editions by incorporating an unrivalled number of colour photographs to show key presenting signs and symptoms as they are seen in practice. From cover to cover you will find over 1,500 illustrations (most in colour) comprising: clinical photographs, endoscopic images, ultrasound scans, ECG`s and summary tables. In addition to the illustrations, the book provides concise accompanying text, detailed legends and `Key Facts` boxes to make exam revision that bit easier. Now slightly shorter and lighter, Color Atlas & Text of Clinical Medicine 3/e is a concise, colourful alternative to more detailed textbooks of medicine, and represents remarkable value for money.
