I read and liked it from the beginning specially for interpretation of blood gases and understanding concepts in anaemia's. Highly conceptualized book. Each page is a concept forming episode. You can start randomly from any page. The approach to anemias , approach to endocrine disorders are so amazing that you are less likely to forget them in exams. This book teaches how to make a diagnosis with a particular ailment in real practice as well! There are lot of pictures that should help in OSCE too.
