Written by medical students for medical students, this manual provides concise, rapidly digestible information about those aspects of clinical medicine that cannot effectively be learnt in the classroom setting. The book includes: chapters on write-ups and presentations - these are two major sources of angst for medical students on their rotations that are usually not covered well in the ICM course, but learnt on the job; new drug appendix - to make it easier for students to get a quick handle on any drug they are likely to encounter; chapters on diagnostic tests (lab, X-ray, ECG) - succinct coverage of when and why to order them, and what to do with the results
