Reviews:"Urologists often remark that our subject is poorly covered in medical school curricula; therefore, when we have students attached to our departments, it is beholden on us to maximise their learning opportunities. This book should help, since its strengths are accessibility and that it is written in simple language without ever being patronising.
I could imagine a student attending a clinic and being able to rapidly match the case in front of them with the relevant section, and doing exactly the same whilst shadowing on-call. Once qualified, whatever the specialty they are working in, they could refresh their knowledge "on the job" with this readily available aide-mémoire to better allow them to deal with pre-existing and newly diagnosed urological conditions and emergencies.
This, then, is a most welcome, concise adjunct to learning and practising Urology for medical students and junior doctors."Dominic HodgsonConsultant Urological Surgeon and Chairman of the British Association of Urological Surgeons Education CommitteeChapters1.
