hi trigraders

here's what u should do, buy the new macleod's clinical examination and study chapter 1, skip chapter 2 and study the "history" for each system (cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, locomotor and nervous systems). frankly the locomotor is not very important in 3rd nor in 4th grade. so study the 1st pages of these chapters (the history taking, or in other words the symptoms of each system).

that's what u should do in 3rd grade, plus there r tables in macleod's for the causes of symptoms and signs, these r also important (e.g. causes of enlarged spleen)

and start practicing taking history

hope that's useful.

If you master taking Hx in 3rd year, it will be super easier for you on the following years...

Remember, Practice Makes Perfect


Good luck

Thanks for your advice guys....
It is really helpful..

Thanks alot Mohammed for ur advice..
Frankly, my friend Reema gave me the same advice and i did buy it ..& by the way m7md i bought it from the college's library in Gardens,it's only 12 Jd
..till now i read only the Git part but it's very useful ...
though it requires alot of "memorizing"...
Anyway thnx guyz & plz Recommend any other books if u Remeber sth useful..
See ya
& by the way Happy 3eed

Hey Safa
You mean Macleod's Clinical Examination, don't u??

Could you tell me the name of the bookshop you bought it from (in Arabic)..
And may you tell me where exactly it is in The Gardens Str.
Appreciate it...

you're welcome M7md and Safa, and happy eid

but listen there's no need to buy any other book for practical medicine, macleod's is more than enough.

but u know, i'll tell u what i now wish someone had told me when i was in 3rd grade. u'll be studying medicine and surgery this year, and these are very important subjects, i think it would be great if u buy both davidson's medicine and baley and love short practice of surgery and whatever topic u take in the lectures, study it in these books (i mean study both the lecture and the book). i know it may seem like a lot of studying but it's not and in fact in some topics u'll see that the book is actually more brief and more organized. if u do this and continue with that in 4th and 5th grades, u'll find it very rewarding in 6th grade.

can't agree more ..

and Mohammed we used to hear such offers from time to time ..but we were too lazy to try ...and now we do regret it... ..

Hi all,
thanks alot Mohammed ..walla these r really good advices .. but i didn't understand the surgery book's name..can u tell me what is it exactly?
i will b very thankful..
& for u Mohammed ..
u see i've got the bag in which they gave me the book so i'll tell u the numbers, call them if u didn't knew it exactly & they will certainly let u know the place , i will send it by e-mail to u ..
but u see it's "موجودة بشارع مستشفى الاسراء.. اذا تعرفها -هيه عدها عدة فروع بس الفرع مال كتب الطبية موجود بشارع الملكة رانيا"
شوف انته شتسوي اركب تكسي وكلله مكتبه الجامعه الاردنية -يا فرع؟...تكلله فرع الجامعه الاردنية"وهيه متتيه انشاء الله ...
& check ur email for their no.


p.s.: yes i meant macleod's ...

lol Safa, seems the "love" word confused u . ok here's the name again, "Bailey and Love's short practice of surgery". Love is the name of the author. . u'll get this book from college but it's old and badly photocopied so it's much better if u buy a new one and of course make sure you're getting the latest edition.

take care

Again, thank you all guys for your advices and tips...

Keep it up.. We need to hear from your experience

tanx alot...

thanx 4 ur advice
if i stayed in this college
i will try 2 follow it

Hello

I am going to buy the three books and fellow your advice.
But I am hesitated between the original copy and the photocopied copy.

Thanx...

dear medic,

it's certainly better to get the original copies for all the books as they contain important photos. however, macleod's is the most important to be original as it'll show u the technique of examination and some signs for diseases that u'll need in 4th year. davidson's also has some very important photos. and frankly so is the surgery but if u must buy one photocopied book, make it the surgery.

but all these 3 books u'll keep needing them and studying in them all your college years and after u graduate so i think it's money well-spent. so i think u get the originals better.

anyway guys, please notice that these are british books, if u intend to for example study the usmle (i.e. to go to the US or canada) in the future then i'd suggest other books except for macleod's which is useful either way. so anyway, if u need to know about these american books or need any other help, just ask here or email me.

Ok,I got your point.

Thanx.
