Fantastic book February 2, 2010
Doretha D. Knowles
Every medical student about to do clinical rotations must have this book. The book is literally the "clinical Bible" for med students. Other than getting actual hands-on-experience, reading this book is the next best thing needed to do well in your rotations.
