Publisher's Synopsis
Warning: This book will increase your endocrine knowledge and make you stand out as a doctor; use at your own risk. Endocrinology literally translates to 'endo' (within) and 'krine' (secrete); endocrinology, is therefore the study of secretory organs (glands) and their respective hormones within the body. Undoubtedly the best discipline of medicine, endocrinology is vital with respect to almost any field of practise. Having a core knowledge in endocrinology will separate you from others who simply are there to 'pass'. There is no 'target audience' for this book, and it can be used to study for the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), medical school exams, board/postgraduate exams, or simply to gain a better understanding (and shine!). Volume I follows the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, pituitary gland & hypothalamus, ranging from case studies, data interpretation, theoretical application, endocrinological pharmacotherapy, and arbitrary (but yet commonly tested) facts. The tables have now turned! No longer will you be 'picked on' and 'quizzed' by a senior; this revision book is the ticket to gaining knowledge, and earning respect.
