4th year medical books

So, I did a mistake. I was asked to recommend books for 4th year but instead I wrote about 3rd year books. My bad. So, 4th year is when you start your cycles (or posting). Mainly we used lecture materials but these are some of the books that I liked.

1. Obstetric
I mainly read a photostate copy of a translated ukrainian book. It fits the russian curriculum but most of the treatment are bizarre (acc to western standards).
Also, Obstetric by dutta is also helpful. However, my experience is, no matter how much book you read, it wont be enough for the teachers. I don't know where you can find the pdf version of the books.

Supplementary books :
Obstetric and gynaecology at a glance
A very good book. Equipped with many pictures. Plus you can use it during Gynae cycle on 5th year

акушерство айламазян
If you have the time, you can start preparing for the state exam. This book is very good unfortunately, I just can't find the time to read it.

2. Neurology
I actually love neurology but I was not inspired. Main source of information are lectures. So try asking the seniors for their notes. Some lectures are very interesting (if given by the right person) , some are just lullaby. Books that I read and personally recommend is Neurology and neurosurgery ilustrated (by the title you can guess why I loved this book - the word ilustrated), unfortunately I don't have the link for you to skim through the book.

Supplementarry books :
Mayo clinic, essential neurology

3. Ear, nose and throat
Lecture materials are important, notes from seniors and for textbook.
ENT by dhingra is mostly used. Buy it from your frien in India, it is cheaper.

4. Opthalmology
Lecture materials are important. If I am not mistaken, the library have some books but I think it is better use for revision. For textbook find Opthalmology by khurana. Quite easy to understand. Plus with each purchase you are give a small pocketbook.

supplementary books :
Color atlas of opthalmology

5. Pediatrics
Lecture materials are useful I guess. I usually read russian textbook as the exam will be a state exam (meaning in russian)
For pediatrics :

For infectious diseases of children :

supplementary book :
Pediatric protocols in malaysia

6. Dermatology
Notes are from lectures but I suggest you learn dermatology by looking at pictures.
Fitzpatrick colour atlas and synopsis of dermatology

7. Internal medicine
Basicly are the same topic from last year with added criteria for diagnosis and treatment. The lecture note are from Kumar & Clark with some additional notes. Most malaysian student have Harrisonns. These books are good but they lack the treatment part of it. I supplemented the information froom lectures with Merck manual (you can get in in iphone). I suggest you get a physical examination book. I used MacLeods (you can find the link on 3rd year medical book post). Most student studying in Malaysia use Tally's PE.

8. Surgery
Mainly I use lecture notes. Many students have Bailey's.

Supplementary books:
