21 Units in 4 sections, all you have to do is pick up which part you want to strengthen first (Personal recommendation: Go with Communication skills with patients first). Eventually, you will fall in love with the book, BEWARE, don’t forget to stick to your theory too.
The following recommendations are made for persons who want to develop a clinical grasp of medicine:
- Take this book with you to the practicals and OPD and read it there. As you approach the patient with a confirmed diagnosis, take a short glance at the case studies. As you continue to use this strategy, you will start to feel more assured.
- Establishing relationships with patients, dealing with various patient types, and communicating with them in everyday terms are all skills that may be learned.
- Learn how to evaluate various systems. You cannot always rely on lab results and your seniors; if you don’t know how to do them, your diagnosis will be insufficient.
