A concise, colourfully illustrated and highly informative textbook of paediatrics.

Throughout, there is an emphasis on the core fundamentals of paediatrics practice throughout the world, which has contributed to its success in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

أول مرة أضيف كتاب كان مقرر عليّ في الكلية..
لكن رغم كل السخط والضغط وكذا، بس كانت تجربة جيدة لي كدراسة من المرجع شبه كلية مش المقرر فقط، وكنت حاباها لأسباب تتعلق بي.

Good. But I think it’s summarized and that will be a problem for those with a weak foundation in pathophysiology and adult medicine.
If only the important details were included I think it’ll be half of it’s size. Toooo many repetitions and unnecessary details.
I love it’s summaries and little boxes.
I dislike it’s paragraphs that just repeat stuff over and over and suddenly drop a new sentence.

Good book, easy to go through.
Illustration were of great help to me.
However, a book is never enough in medicine and you can never guarantee the main source of the exam.

This is the most beautiful book of pediatrics I have seen. It is full of pictures, graphics and it is really easy to read. Although it is not enough for requirements of medicine studies, some topics are missing and others are given quite shortly, I loved it. :)

I have a lot of spare time on this placement.

This one is way more interesting than Practical Paediatrics but less applicable in terms of clinical application.

Това не е учебник, а справочник. Не става за четене... Написан е от 7463672781 автора и няма стил, няма душа... И а картинки поне... и таблици. И пише, че е "базиран на доказателствата"... Ем аз нямам доказателство за това, остава ми само вяра, че 4738262636171 автора са имали достъп до доказателствата ;)

Teksten er ret tung at komme igennem, men til gengæld er illustrationerne meget gode

A very concise textbook, it covers an enormous area, not in any great detail, but in enough. It gives a good foundation of paediatric medicine on top of which one can build up their understanding by googling the conditions only briefly described. In order to make the most of this book, I think it is first necessary to have studied some general (adult) medicine, and then after having read it, test yourself on your new knowledge. 'Passmedicine' is what I'd recommend for that. All in all, this was a very readable textbook that kept me pretty interested. I would have liked a bit more personality in it, but I still haven't gotten over the brilliance of 'Psychiatry PRN'.

Very good textbook to study medicine as an undergraduate student.
I did not like the pictures very much but the text was very clear and thorough (for the purpose of this book but not for a specialist anyway). The self-assessment book was very helpful to revise and fully understand the material.
Highly recommended.

A very good introduction to paediatrics world, I like they way of presenting information, covering almost everything but not that detailed. I recommend it as a first paediatric book to read, for 3-5 years of medical studies, for last year students need more detailed book I guess..

this was boring.... except for a few chapters... I would've chosen another source to study but unfortunately this was the recommended for the curriculum.

More textbook than management. For background reading not for the emergency floor.
