i am from KSA
i am also 2nd year med student

dont u study MICROBIOLOGY among ur med subjects as we do ?
if u , what are the books that u study from?
(including theoretical & practical parts)

thaaaaaanx

No we do study micro - but it would have been pointelss suggesting more books that you couldn't get hold of!

Having said that - no idea where KSA is - unless you're a member of the Klinefelter's Syndrome Association

Books I use include Human Virology (Oxford and Collier) and Medical Microbiology (Mims et al).

I tend to get most stuff for microbiology from journal arricals and reviews though...

re-read my thread
I asked for good bacterio atlases not to worry about the way i get them



- no idea where KSA is -

open any atlas, look 4 ASIA-particularly far west- u will find:
K . S . A



unless you're a member of the Klinefelter's Syndrome Association

I didnt find that funny
it's not their fault that they have an extra chromosome X

You need to C H I L L!!!

You specifically said that you could not get the two books you mentioned in your country, saying No mention in your first post of , else, what's your issue with getting hold of the books you mention???

I looked on maps of far west asia and found it.
It means Kashmir Srinigar Anantinag.

Not everyone is familiar with world geography or acronyms. Yes ppl know what USA, UK and EU stand for but those are the exceptions. People should spell out non medical acronyms when on this forum. Actually, for my sake, I hope people spell out medical acronyms too.

Or before the OP got arsy, it could have been the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia... That's why I asked.

Anyway - a fool and his ego are soon parted
