Lets recap : Interesting FAQ of new batch of medical students

Well, I was quite frequently being asked by juniors "What book should I own for Medical school? " I shall pass down the same message by the final year (when i was year 1, and my senior, now Dr. Kenneth Khoo) , which i found them useful, and able to stand the test of time. I had modified them into slide show and pardon me for any misleading information in the slides. My senior guided me well and all the fault should be me to blame on. There are, tips to do and not to do when buying medical books and algorithm that can be used in deciding which book to buy (if any)

KiaSu defined as  is a Hokkien and Singlish word that means a grasping, selfish attitude by wikipedia. Well it also means to take extreme measure to achieve success. However, from my observation in Medical school for 2 years.(I am still new and naive, but i have my idea XD ), the extreme measure to buy many many books not necessarily you bring you success, unless you paid off your sleepless night to your torturous compulsive reading behavior to read those books! (purposely made it sounds horrifying, so that you know where you are heading to!) You held many responsibilities on the books you bought. You owe your parents who spend money on the books (perhaps the money is yours , then you are owing yourselves, this is even worse.) , you owe the author and publisher who work real hard to get the book published, you owe your friends who couldn't have the ability to buy the book. you owe the trees being chopped down to train you as the future stake holder. LoL. many more entities that you are owed .. and you should think about it.

Make sure you do read those books that you buy X).
