Nick Manville's small Medical Resource

Nothing particularly interesting here I'm afraid. There's a few of my essays, just in case somebody, somewhere, somehow finds a use for them.

If you don't, don't worry I haven't yet either.

If you happen to be a student in medicine or a related subject then an essay on something you have to read up on may be easier than wading through fifteen different textbooks and their associated jargon and waffle. (If you're sneaky you could probably copy them, but I'd check them for mistakes first!)

There may be errors in these essays. They are meant solely as a starting point to understanding an topic. I will attempt to correct them as people correct me. If there are innacuracies I cannot be held responsible.

When I get time to do more I'll try and make this a little more exciting. But at the moment I have some reading for a renal physiology tutorial so it'll have to wait. If you want me to keep working on this page you'll have to let me know. If nobody wants me to continue this then I won't bother.

Other people's comments on my accuracy.

If you have any essays/articles that you think should appear on this site as a general resource for all confused med. students everywhere. Mail them to me. I guarantee to post them as quickly as I can get round to it with the proper acknowledgments.

Here are a few useful links I found on my travels:

Jonathon-Twards Medical Library

Human Anatomy On-line

Medical Student Homepage of the Virtual Hospital

Human Anatomy and Physiology Case Studies

Blimey people have deigned my site worthy enough to visit.

Disclaimer: No responsibility will be taken for the factual accuracy of the essays. I make mistakes like everyone else. (Plus they keep re-writing the books!). No treatments should be inferred from these articles. If you have a medical problem please see a qualified physician.
