Incredible

This has got to be the best book regarding medical careers I have ever read. The contents is both informative yet readable, and the cartoons and pictures give the book a humourous feel. This book is incredible.

A map through the maze of medical careers in the UK

This book is a bible for the confused junior doctor or medical student deciding which path to take. For every speciality, there is essential information about the reality of the job - a refreshing change from the abstract, idealistic and stereotypical ideas so often perpetuated by our profession. Particulary useful is the information on those things that matter most: pay, working hours, competitiveness, nights, opportunity for private practice, stress and amount of litigation. It also includes useful contact details, tips to race ahead of the crowd, sections on opportunities abroad and alternative careers for doctors who have had enough. In short,this book is a map through the maze of medical careers - a great investment.
