Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This is the third edition of a supplemental clinical textbook. It was developed to be used in today's shortened medical school curriculum; it is written in an easy-to-read narrative style and is profusely illustrated (approximately 700 illustrations) with original artwork, imaging studies and clinical photographs. In modern medical education there is a growing trend in a swing towards clinical applications and it is recognized that the physical examination of the living patient is the ultimate application of anatomical knowledge. The market for this book is 3rd and 4th year medical students and residents. The presentation highlights the anatomical basis of the physical examination, and invasive procedures; a key glossary of anatomical terms and eponyms; key review questions with answers keyed to the book sections.

I am currently using Ger for my clinical and developmental anatomy course as a very first year med student. In addition to a good textbook and atlas, I would highly recommend this book; it provides excellent clinical scenarios and applications of anatomy. (I would not recommend using it as your only book, however.) It is a lighter, easier read than most anatomy texts, and the jokes are often very useful for helping you to remember specific clinical details for your anatomy exam! (I also had the pleasure of having Dr. Ger as a lecturer for the very first unit of my anatomy course, and his enthusiasm for anatomy and medicine truly comes out in his writing.)

This book is excellent, maybe you can't get the jokes if your from Belfast but as a medical student in NY I found the jokes, as well as the clinical insights to be excellent. This is an excellent [supplementary] text for a very first year medical student. Way more clinically relevant than Baby Moore's essential clinical anatomy, and way more fun to read.

As a final year medical student (at Queen's University Belfast) I would strongly recommend against the use of this text. The attempts at humour interfere with the already sketchy descriptions of human anatomy which the diagrams do little to help clarify. This text was universally slated by the students in my year. I cannot overemphasise how deeply I regret wasting my money on it.

I am a Final Year student at Queen's University Belfast and I'd just like to correct the horrific error my colleague has made.
This is a poorly written, hard to understand Anatomy text, which lacks sufficient detail to actually be understandable, and which contains attempts at "humour" which are, at best, weak. The book is an appalling waste of money, and provides no useful grounding in Anatomy. The diagrams are poor, the explanations vague and the whole book simply not useful for the purpose which it is meant to serve. Do not under any circumstances buy this travesty.

I am a second year medical student at The Queen's University of Belfast (UK), and would recommend this text to all fellow students requiring an understanding of Clinical Anatomy. The writing style is informative and often humorous(!), and the diagrams are excellent. This in conjunction with a quality atlas is all which is required for an in-depth pre-clinical anatomy course.
