Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster)

Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster)
Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple is a brief, clear, thorough, and highly enjoyable approach to clinical microbiology, brimming with mnemonics, humor, summary charts and illustrations, from AIDS to "flesh-eating bacteria" to ebola, mad cow disease, hantavirus, anthrax, smallpox, botulism, etc. Excellent Board review.

This medical book is a very helpful text for medical students at first and second year of medical school. The information is geared towards the medical student. Important facts are presented in a easy-to-memorize manner which gives the student what is needed to pass exams. This book covers all of the "bugs" throughly with a clinical focus. At the end of each chapter, there are review tables with info on the bug, how it presents clinically, and how you treat it. This medical book is packed with mnemonics and weired cartoons meant to help you remember what you need to know for the boards (for instance, Chlamydia has a "clam" necklace; Salmonella is shown as a salmon hanging out and smoking a cigar in a gallbladder to remind you that's where chronic Salmonella carriers retain the bug).
