Recommended Medical Books?

[AnnIsANGRY]

Hello, I'm a first year medical student (M.D.) and have just gotten a book list asking me to cough up RM1213 for this semester by this Friday.

So I have a question, are these books used THROUGHOUT the course? Or only for a few semesters?

Marieb's Anatomy and Physiology
Guyton's Physiology OR Ganong's Review of Physiology
Robin's Pathology
Lange's Microbiology and Immunology
McLeod's Clinical Methods
Langman's Embryology
Lippincott's Biochemistry


Dorland's Medical Dictionary (this I know I could use)

And another question. Since Marieb is combining both Anatomy and Physiology, would it be less comprehensive that any other singular subjects? And if I get it, would it still be necessary to get Guyton's Physiology?

I'm a sponsored student and I'm studying in KL based only on my own money and allowance as I don't want to burden my parents so I want to get only the most useful and highly recommended (based on your experience) to aid me throughout the course.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!
P/S : I don't mind spending extra for really good books so please have your say!

I would say u won't be using them for the entire course...u would most probably finished reading/using most of these in the early 1,2,3 years while in the later years u will use much specific books such as McRae or Apley's Orthopaedics, Snell's Neuroanatomy, Bailey and Love's Surgery etc...

I bought Netter's Anatomy, Robbin's Pathology, Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine, Talley + O'connor for History taking/Physical Examination then the rest are ebooks such as Essential Haematology, Stedman's Medical Dictionary...These are for the early years...
