Winner of the Medical Journalists' Association Specialist Book of the Year Award 2006 Cynical Acumen approaches medicine in the real world, dealing with issues ignored by other books. It is a unique, 'what you really need to know' textbook designed to help medical students and senior house officers look slick and pass their exams against all odds. The book entertainingly considers the world outside medicine with anecdotes on the important things in life such as sport, literature, Thai cooking and the dissolution of the monasteries. It has been aptly described by the author as 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to Medicine'. Medical students will find this underground resource invaluable, as will medical professionals including junior hospital doctors, particularly those sitting the MRCP examination.

"'The plan is for this book to be banned. In a market place stuffed to the gunnels with medical text books, surgical text-books, clinical text books - something is required to set a new volume apart from the others. Something has to catch the eye of the potential reader. In the absence of any superior qualifications, testimonials or indeed literary merit, I have decided that being banned is clearly the best bet. It must be said that the aim is not to cause upset deliberately, but merely finding to my surprise that a candid account of a practical approach to patients and their problems - as well as other practitioners and the problems they cause - is not in keeping with what one would call "good medical practice".' John Larkin, in the Preface"
