Gynae/Obstetrics : no more a dilemma

The day you step into final year,the only synonym you hear with Gynae/Obstetrics is our Professor’s books,namely Fundamentals of Gynae/Obs.
Having been through my final year,I think I am in an adequate position to comment and judge the two books both in character and in literature.Prof.Dr Arshad Chohan is an incredible teacher,his classes keep you focused and his method of study which amalgamates both humour and the course under study drills the subject into you conscious and subconscious mind,and this exactly reflects in his books too.His books are easy to understand,explicitly written and describe how everything happens,which most books don’t,so basically they help you make concepts and not just sacks of memorization being loaded on you.
I now will analyze the mechanics of his two books.His books have a straightforward and effortless English,and everything is explained in the most simple manner possible,disregarding the wider concept in most books,that we would or would not know a particular thing.Infact many of my concepts about different physiological processed actually got corrected through this book,as heavy emphasis is laid on physiology and patho physiology,so by the end you come out more conceptual, more apt about the topic in question.
These are the kind of books,which cover everything and do not leave any space for ambiguity.These books negate the substandard text of other local books,and set a standard on their own,and only because of this,these books are the standard textbooks for the subject all over Pakistan,being a gigantic aid to medical students of almost all medical colleges in Pakistan.

Hence,Gynaecology and Obstetrics as subjects are not a quagmire of dilemma any more,life is easy kids.

You have one thing less to worry about.

I had thought that Gynae is a very dry subject, but Fundamentals of Gynae & Obs by Dr. Arshad Chohan not only refined my concepts in the subject but also helped me develop as interest in the subject.
