It goes without saying that these are two excellent books worthy of being members of the equally excellent Oxford Handbook medical handbook series. Incredibly, according to https://global.oup.com/academic/content/series/o/oxford-medical-handbooks-oxhmed there are now 94 members of this outstanding series. I have not seen all of them but I have seen a good number and they are all excellent, clinically focussed handbooks that are great for dealing with a specific patient problem. It is like having an expert on hand and despite being described as handbooks, they are good and detailed textbooks. Yet they remain compact, hugely informative, well written and robustly constructed with their tough vinyl covers.
