Learning Microbiology through Clinical Consultation: BOOK
About the book:
Learning Microbiology through Clinical Consultation; A new textbook for medical students
"Actually the medical students at St Georges Hospital had a key role in the publication of Learning Microbiology through Clinical Consultation and this is a great opportunity to say thank you.
Of course the students that responded to my email must now be qualified doctors; the youngest was in year 2 and the oldest was just qualified, so they could be anything from foundation to registrar level.
As you can see from the title page it was not just me that wrote the chapters but a consultant from your Hospital; Dr Breathnach , one of St Georges Hospitals microbiologists and head of the labs here. I had had some interaction with him because he had helped me with an antibiotics audit I had done at my practice. So I telephoned him and asked him to be a co-author on the project and he said ‘yes.’ Just like that! Without asking any questions at all! Of course then I explained a bit more so that he could change his mind if he wished, but he still said he would like to and I have really enjoyed working with him. Dr Breathnach’s descriptions and explanations are very clear, perhaps because he is already used to explaining things to medical students, he wrote down what he would normally explain to you in a lecture.
So all in all, St Georges Hospital and Medical School has had a big influence on this project. It has allowed me the opportunity to write and complete this book and I would like to say THANKYOU!
Yours Berenice
