Book review 1 - Nick Fisher 'Frontline Cardiology'

Sometimes it is important to have a good guide that tells you 'what to do next'. I was digging out some books I had accumulated over the years, and found one by Nicholas Fisher titled 'Frontline cardiology'. I cannot believe I stashed this one away! Absolutely brilliant! Its clear, concise and precise, and most certainly answers that aforementioned all important question. As the book description itself states - 'Its no-nonsense advice..' - I agree. It has some great tables, simple line diagrams and emphasises basic facts that are important in daily practice and impressing your boss on a ward round :-). While I am all for reading big textbooks with memorising complicated diagrams as well, reading a book like Nick Fisher's is just as great. I am a huge fan of line diagrams / clear hand drawn diagrams, as they not only help remember facts but also can be used to explain facts to patients and family. Totally invaluable.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is at junior doctor level all the way to junior fellow or specialist registrar level. Its not only me who would recommend this, a ton of my friends who have used it have found it useful too! Most of all, its costs close to nothing!
