Buy Original
1) Pocket Essentials of Clinical Medicine, Kumar and Clark (a.k.a Baby K&C)

JKM is Jom Kita Main! Why do we need books for? :P

Aiya, some lecturers say Illustrated is for Midwives also, but generally, most dr like Ten Teachers, unless specified. I know Prof Tan is a hardcore Ten Teachers fan, loving each sentence of the book and is "Music to my ears" according to her. :P
