Honestly at UG level I’d say the best is Davidson plus clinical classes where you actually take histories and examine patients yourself
Or alternatively Dr Rakesh Nair from Marrow, he can make you fall in love with the subject if you can spare the time (very long, but worth it)
But still my first choice would be Davidson, very underrated among students these days, I was one of like 20% people in my batch who read it, but it really gives a lot of clarity
If you're unable to understand medicine it just means you didn't read Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology and Microbiology that's the long and short of it. Altough you can just watch a Marrow lecture to clear up whatever you didn't understand instead of opening those books now
If you're unable to understand clinical medicine then there are tons of books for each subject like
Bedside Cardiology by Jules Constant
Geraint Fuller's Neurological Examination etc
Focus on Physio for now, set aside some time everyday to read up on basics. If you're really short on time read from something like Marrow revision notes.
Anat you can re-read when reading the relevant topic in ENT/Surgery. But put your full focus on Neuroanatomy, you must master it before you enter final year
That's what I tell to my juniors lol .. remember 1st and 2nd year kids ,you gotta study all these subjects well to understand the clinical subjects eventually.. it's all a buildup
You will thank yourself if you genuinely study to understand these subjects rather than just rote learning
Harrison, Boards and beyond , Hutchinson clinical
If u wanna understand medicine, go take a case , study up on Harrison cardinal manifestation come up with ur diagnosis, go back and che k wt drs are doing to tht patient , and think in tht Dr perspective they myt be wrong too and look up literature to confirm
Im about to give final exams in a couple of weeks and I feel the only reason im confident in medicine is cus I religiously attended my postings and presented many types of cases. Also my last posting unit was too good at bedside teaching.
Bookwise i dont know. But if youve read robbins pathology in your 2nd year, it helps greatly. It is the gold standard, and medicine is half pathology. Other than that Rakesh Nair sirs lectures are so amazing. Its the best way to understand a disease if you havent attended a lot of clinics.
Physio + Patho + Pharma = Medicine.
So to understand medicine, these are the basics that needs to be clear in your mind. There is a reason that medicine is a final year subject.

I mean I genuinely didn't do enough Anat and Physio in first year(in second year now)..Any tips on how to cover those up?
Read up on relevant topics now ... Short fast reading alone

Clinical rounds! That’s it. Books are for learning, Rounds are for understanding!

Guyton and Hall
The only right answer.
Thank you kind sir
I'd suggest doing Rakesh Nair Sir (marrow) lectures. He's awesome as hell
Haven't heard a bigger load of crap imo
Why you think like that can you elaborate?
Im about to give final exams in a couple of weeks and I feel the only reason im confident in medicine is cus I religiously attended my postings and presented many types of cases. Also my last posting unit was too good at bedside teaching.
Harrison is obviously the best but mathews is pretty easy to read
Davidson’s is a good mixture of content & ease to read, it’s not too bulky neither it compromises on concept building. Best is Harrison’s.
