# Review of Davidson's

Preface to GOLD Review:
It’s a long journey indeed! I have written this book because of my strong passion towards internal medicine. I started this journey couple of years ago when I was a young graduate. I was taking preparation for post graduate entry exams like FCPS or MRCP Part-1. And you have to keep the concepts of Davidson’s at your fingers end to crack these exams. We all know how magnificent this book is. Initially I had a phobia of reading this book. Gradually I began to enjoy the world of Davidson’s. And the idea peeped into my mind; let’s create a review of this giant book.
The journey began. I started typing. I used to read one chapter, grasp the core ideas and write it down. And the journey continued. One after another chapter. After relentless work, finally the journey has come to an end. The review book is ready now.
I have named this book, “GOLD Review” because each and every line of this book is a high yield concept; can be compared to GOLD. You need these concepts to crack every exam like FCPS, MRCP, USMLE etc. As I have gone through all of these exams, I have fairly good idea regarding the concepts they test. I have compiled all high yield concepts in this book.
The peculiarities of this book are –
• Easy explanation of the difficult concepts of Davidson’s
• Pointed and delicate arrangement of the topics
• Inclusion of numerous pictures, X-rays, USG, CT scans
• Inclusion of all figures and flowcharts of Davidson’s
• Addition of acute medicine
• Addition of SBA pearls after each chapter
I believe, you will have fun when you read this book. You will develop a passion towards Davidson’s.. This will pave the way to explore the world of internal medicine.
Finally, I am grateful to Almighty Allah for His blessings. I am grateful to my wife and my parents for their continuous support. I am indebted to my teachers, colleagues and students for their love and inspiration.
Best wishes for all.
