I read this book a long time ago when I was still in medical school in 2005-2010 (so most likely its older version). Definitely a must-read textbook for medical students, junior physicians, or medical doctors.

Currently studying CDM in Nursing and this book made everything clearer and explained all the little things that were confusing the hell out of me! Life-saver of a book!

Excellent reference book for a variety of clinical procedures. Would refer to it as a 5th year medical student/FY1.
