A short textbook ideal for the relatively short clinical attachment that medical students have in obstetrics and gynaecology, helping them to master the essentials of the subject in that short period. Only the core 'must know' information is included. The focus throughout is on common conditions encountered in clinical practice. It bridges the gap between vast postgraduate tomes and the brief, factual 'pocket' books, making it the student's ideal combined course book. Chapters provide an essential platform on which to build more indepth knowledge and the text is enhanced by many two-colour line drawings.
