 A must have!  By Kriti Singhania, 2nd Year Medical Student, Leicester University, 11 January 2010

One of your worst nightmares as a doctor- Losing a patient to a life-threatening condition that YOU have missed. To prevent any of us having to go through this awful ordeal this may be just the book you need. As a Medical Student being thrust into a clinical setting can be a daunting experience, especially when dealing with matters of life and death. Sometimes the clue for the diagnosis lies in a single symptom and Alarm Bells in Medicine allows you to pick up on these life-threatening symptoms and treat your patient, saving their lives. Though the book is not colourful and contains no diagrams/pictures, it is easy to understand and follow. All the life threatening diseases are clearly listed under their speciality and symptoms and treatment is clearly stated. This means a quick and effective diagnosis can be made and treatment administered. As the book states, alarm symptoms are disclosed in all clinical settings and this book is therefore as relevant for consultants as it is for GPs, as useful for junior doctors as it is for us medical students. In my opinion it is a must have and will surely come in handy, even if it saves just one patients life in the future.
