Initially when given the book to review, I thought it was related to the enthralling topic of statistics. However, on receiving the book, I soon discovered that the data the title refers to is actually the interpretation of clinical tests such as ABGs, blood results, radiology imaging, ECGs etc. Interpretation and analysis of the clinical data and tests which are used on a daily basis in clinical practice is obviously a vital part of becoming a doctor and so I was keen to read on and see if the text did as it said on the tin. The 600 page book is divided into chapters on virtually all the medical specialities, with all the common tests/investigations covered. Each chapter begins with a number of pages covering the key physiology and pathophysiology related to the speciality along with a description of the relevant tests available before going on to give a number of cases with questions and answers for students to self-test. I feel the book is pitched at a good level for medical students. As a final year, I have (I think) come to grips with most of the common tests, and so the book is perhaps not so useful except for if all your friends leave you and you fancy some late night medicine trivia with a bottle of wine. However, for 2nd years especially, this book would prove extremely useful for the tests you encounter almost immediately upon setting foot on the wards. The book would also be useful for CCT teachers to have as many of the examples would be useful exercises to do in UCCT. Overall, I would recommend the book as a useful addition to the bookshelf, especially for early on in your clinical years when the vast array of tests and their interpretation can appear a little daunting. --Alistair, Sphincter Magazine Spring 2012, Liverpool Medical School
