question for current students about books etc

[jabiyasser]

anatomy - I'd say go for Moore Dalley Clinical Anatomy (lots of detail), or Grays anatomy for students (lots of CGI and much simpler and easier to understand than moore).

physiology - Guyton or Vanders - guyton is bigger, vanders is more graphical.

tortora is descent, you should buy it. very useful. rest of the books that you need, you can always borrow from library. always a good idea to revise before you come, will save you a lot of time.

yo shujaat ! how many times should i tell you ! stick to monkhouse dude

I have found the anatomy colouring books really good, its quite therapeutic to sit there colouring in and u are actually learning something. There are quite a lot round, i have The Anatomy Colouring Book by Kapit, Elson. i think its one of the best ones because its got nearly everything in, including some dreaded embryology.

yeah, yassir is right. monkhouse, master medicine is a must have. It covers all you need for year 1 exams, for the most part. the reproductive section isn't as good as the rest though.
