UNSTRUCTURED This is a personal view about our perspectives, as medical students at Imperial College London, on our experiences during our infectious diseases placement at Northwick Park Hospital, touching upon other students’ experiences at other sites. These highlight some of the main drivers and barriers that motivate or dissuade medical students from seeing COVID-19 positive patients.

The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine provides a unique resource for medical students and junior doctors as a definitive guide to medicine. It is divided into 19 chapters, each covering a core area, including chest medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, renal medicine, haematology, infectious diseases, neurology, oncology and palliative care, rheumatology, surgery, clinical chemistry, radiology, practical procedures, and emergency medicine. It presents clinical information in a clear way that makes it easy to revise, remember, and implement on the ward. It gives reliable advice on what to do, and when and how to do it, with clinical photographs and diagrams that bring theory to life. It weaves history, literature, art, and philosophy into its survey of medicine, casting new light on the specialties and encouraging the reader to see beyond the practical aspects of medicine and adopt a patient-centred approach to care.

Haemostatic function was studied in over 500 patients within a day or two of their admission to the Coronary Care Unit at Northwick Park Hospital. All were followed up. Those who died within e year of admission were identified and the cause of death established. This paper deals with early mortality in those with confirmed myocardial infarction. At six weeks, 40 of these patients had died of re-infarction. Mean admission levels of factor VIII (clotting and antigen) and of fibrinogen were, by 15-20%, significantly higher in those who died than in those who survived. Mean fibrinolytic activity was about 50% less. These three measures - factor VIII, fibrinogen and fibrinolytic activity - thus appear to have some predictive value for fatal re-infarction. The differences between those who died and survived might have been the consequence of more extensive initial infarcts in the former. Alternatively, disordered haemostasis tending towards “hypercoagulability” may be of causal significance in fated re-infarction.
