I am a nurse on a neurosurgery ward and every now and then I pick up this book to look something up. I am never disappointed. Clear text and informative illustrations give you all the information you need. Not too little and not too much. And in understandable English (I am Dutch). Good value for money.

This is probably THE primer to be used for any serious medical student or junior resident in neurosurgery or neurology. Covers the basics, most commons and has excellent pictures to help cement the concepts in your head. Just buy this book, OK?

Fantastic approach to the neurologic patient that no student of medicine can be without by Rehan Dost (Canada)

5 Stars
July 21, 2005
The text is clinically oriented covering the approach to the neurologic patient including gathering pertinent historical details and the importance of proving your hypothesis with the use of the neurologic exam and appropriate investigations. 95% of Neurological diagnosis/differential diagnosis should be reached within 10 minutes of seeing a patient from historical details alone. History is the cornerstone of neurology. The exam is designed to confirm your diagnosis/differential diagnosis and/or to rule out considerations in localization. After discussing symptom presentation the text then goes on to discuss COMMON neurologic/neurosurgical disorders detailing patterns of recognition so that medical practioners of all levels and in all fields can recognize these patterns in their patients and thus be able to rougly localize the problem and cite the most common causes.

Simple and effective by William Holmes (Scotland, UK)

This review refers to the fourth edition published in 2004 William Holmes: Fourth year medical student: University of Glasgow. Scotland. UK Neurology is a horrible subject to the medical student. A plethora of nerve pathways and a multitude of pathologies mean that students, when confronted with a neurological patient in the clinical setting, quickly reverse and run back up to the relative safety of cafeteria. What this books attempts successfully to do, is to remove the teaching barriers of neurology, making neurology not a matter of guess work but reasoning from a solid background of neurological principles. This book achieves this by removing itself from complex diagrams and ancient terms, instead adopting an approach that at first glance seems rather basic. Its layout involves a multitude of illustrations ranging from the simple to the more complex that are not used to complicate, but to provide valuable aids in memorising ultimately making learning the complexities of neurology much easier. The diagrams are all aided by text that is written in note-form, keeping only to the pertinent points and saving the reader valuable time trudging through unnecessary prose. A prime example of this is seen in the "limb weakness" section. Rather than attempting to narrate what occurs when a lesion is proximal or distal - a fault of mainly neurology books - this book adopts simplified diagrams to convey the points that are relevant and vital. Also, clinical features of a condition are kept to only those that are classical to that pathology and more importantly, they are all explained with relation to the pathology. Together it means the important clinical features are remembered and can be reasoned in-front of a belligerent consultant (much to their annoyance). This book is so well written and illustrated, that your neurology notes from exam revision will be more or less this book written word for word. The only minus point is that on first glance this book looks like a basic neurology text that is only suitable for a first year. Upon reading however, this is quickly shown to be false and it actually provides a valuable source for all those involved in medical care, irrespective of qualification. Its layout is simple, easy to use and allows the book to be used as either a quick reference or as a comphrensive neurology book. Most importantly, the style of the book means that you remember the facts for the bedside, and retain them come exam time. Few medical textbooks can make that claim
