This page is a repository of my academic information. Many of these articles are of a highly technical nature. They are specifically intended for medical education, not general patient information. Nevertheless, they are a good information resource and remain freely downloadable.
These documents were specifically prepared for medical and allied medical students at the University of the Witwatersrand, where I am an honorary lecturer. They essentially represent all the information I consider necessary for basic medical education. They are complete and comprehensive for examination purposes. These are all PDF downloads.
