The series is about medical topics or rather, largely about information on medical ailments, how to recognize them and how to efficiently manage them. Of course, as stated in the foreword, there are standards (ward rounds, textbooks and class notes that aid in the learning process) to follow.
THE GUIDE comes into play as preparatory to the lectures. Reading the relevant section before the lecture will enable you follow the thought process of the lecturer and also prepare you to ask relevant questions for clarification. You can add side notes to the guide as you progress through the postings. In this manner, THE GUIDE will be exceptionally useful for quick revision not only for examinations but periodically as we embark on a lifelong journey of medical practice.
