Interpretation Skills Made Simple

Interpretation Skills Made Simple is a concise, high-yield guide designed to help medical students and doctors master the interpretation of essential investigations often encountered in clinical exams and everyday practice. Covering ECGs, chest X-rays, CT brain scans, ABGs, liver and renal function tests, CBCs, and urinalysis, the book takes a systematic, case-based approach that emphasizes understanding, pattern recognition, and practical decision-making.

Each section starts with the basics, followed by clinical examples, exam tips, and red-flag findings to reinforce key learning points. The final section brings everything together through integrated scenarios, encouraging critical thinking across multiple test modalities-just like in OSCEs and ward rounds.
