Index
"This year as the cover proudly proclaims, the book is in its 26th year and to be frank, this is a brilliant book which represents excellent value for money. It contains a powerhouse of general medical knowledge which is great for primary care and general medicine in secondary care. This appeal to both primary and secondary care is a tough act to achieve, and it succeeds." ©Geriatric Medicine Journal, Dr. Harry Brown, (Pavilion Healthy Today, 2024)
