چکیده
illustrated, 24s). London: Oxford University Press, 1965 PROFESSOR LACHMAN'S BooK fulfills a long felt need in the pre-clinical course. The dilemma in any teaching programme of gross anatomy is that the student too often fails to realise that tnuch of the mass of anatomical information he acquires is directly applicable to clinical medicine. Too often, if not always, the student finds at the bedside he has forgotten most of the material he assimilated in the dissecting room. This book sets out to correlate anatomical facts with common clinical conditions and does so admirably. The book consists of thirty case histories in which the physical signs presented in the case are correlated with anatomical and physiological facts. It is difficult to fault the selection of these case histories, which illustrate conditions commonly found in clinical practice. While students in Ireland may sympathise with the 32-year-old geologist who had a vasectomy (excision of a section of the ductus deferens) five years earlier as a contraceptive measure, and on re-marrying found his second wife desired children of her own, they will not come across this condition in their clinical practice here to any extent. On the other hand one feels the study of the clavicle will assume a more vivid mantle after reading that Sir Robert Peel died when a fragment of a fractured clavicle caused a fatal haemorrhage from the subclavian vein. This book is eminently readable and contains fifty line diagrams which contribute to the understanding of the written text. In recent years in Queen's University an integration between the anatomical course and the wards of the Belfast City Hospital has successfully indicated to students the importance of a sound anatomical knowledge before the clinical years. This paper-back book contains enough anatomical material that it should be compulsory reading for all pre-clinical students as the cases are presented without an overlay of pathological or bacteriological fact but with the emphasis placed fairly and squarely on the anatomy related to the condition.
