The feel-good place to buy books
Surviving Medicine: The Med School Years by Will Sloper
Surviving Medicine: the med school years is an irreverent and tongue-in-cheek take on life as you begin your medical education. It's packed full of cartoons and anecdotes, but also offers advice on surviving ward rounds, coping with doubt and anxiety, preparing for exams, and lots more besides.
Five-star reviews:
Really enjoyable book for students and doctors alike "I got this book after enjoying Dr Sloper's instagram account (@unicyclemedic)Unsurprisingly, the cartoons are really funny and there are lots of new ones in addition to those he has previously published. The accompanying explanatory text and advice are really useful for any medical student especially because Dr Sloper has a realist approach to things - he recognises and pokes fun at the fact that medical students have no idea what we're doing..! What makes the book really great is that, in combination with this, the accompanying text contains lots of heartfelt, personal advice (especially Chapter 6) about how to deal with uncertainty and difficult clinical situations to go perfectly with the humour. I really recommend and will be flicking through it during finals revision for a laugh for sure.
"Also, it's not just for students - I showed it to my partner's doctor parents and they loved it, I imagine it would also be a good and humorous way for medical students to explain to friends and family just what it is we've been doing for the past 4-6 years. I've attached a photo example of just one of the many great jokes/observations in this book." Amazon reviewer
Original approach to ‘the Med school years’ "This is a well balanced book filled with humour and excellent, down to earth advice for medical students. Highly recommended" Amazon reviewer
