7Preface
‘Books are the compass and telescopes and sextants and charts which other men have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life.’
I strongly believe that in the seas of life we all need some help in any moment from others. I also believe that in midst of seas of medical science, all medical personnels particularly the medical students need a GPS and a philosopher. That GPS can come in his or her life in the form of a teacher or a good book or both.
In my short period of teaching, I have experienced that most of the students can remember the diseases and their management as a whole but without understanding the disease process, it's pathophysiology or the principles of treatment. From my understanding, the reason is so many subjects in a too short period.
In this book I have attempted to describe the diseases in such a illustrative manner so that the students can understand as well as recover his or her memories from the illustrations. Better understanding, not a better memory make a average medical student to a good doctor.
As the book is based on illustrations, most of the diseases are described in a illustrative manner, less text more illustrations.
I hope that the book will be more of a guide book for travelling in seas and mountains of medical science than a reference book. Your safe journey can only make me happy.
Wish you a happy journey.
