Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations

. . . absolutely fascinating . . . It is impossible to open this book at any page without finding something that will interest or entertain you . . . The rich and famous are certainly well represented in compilation and quite rightly so. Then there are real gems, including those from the most unlikely sources . . . This book is a little treasure. * The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, 128 *
If you wish to pepper a presentation or if you enjoy writing . . . then you will find much in this volume to quote. I haven't counted them in detail, but I estimate there are in excess of 1500 quotations arranged in two ways: by author and by subject. This makes it very easy to locate a particular quotation, and as the title indicates they are all concerned in one way or another with various aspects of medicine . . . This is an excellent book to have beside you when writing an article or preparing a lecture. The selection is scholarly and the presentation excellent. * Dr Alan Emery *
. . . clearly set out, sensibly sized and entertaining selection. * The Lancet *
. . . a spicy collection . . . * Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Vol 96 *
