Semester 1 Block 1 Foundation: Hematoxylin and Eosin colour pencil (Fable Castell)

Hematoxylin and Eosin colour pencil (Faber Castell)

Price: about RM 4.60/per pencil when I bought
Location: Sunway Faber Castell Kiosk

How do I buy: Run for 4 times before they actually have stock. I was annoyed and straightly emailed the company and they finally tried to get enough colour pencil for me and my classmates.

Books Recommended for MBBS Taylor's

We have 6 subjects in Foundation Block, which is also Semester 1.

So the 6 subjects, I would like to recommend some books for the subjects.

1. Anatomy:

- MOORE Clinically Orientated Anatomy (Better buy one)
- Chaurasia Volume 1, 2, 3 (Can be borrowed from library, but will be useless when going to clinical school, which is Sem 5 onwards)
- Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy (Better get one, helps in OSPE a lot)

2. Biochemistry:

- Mac Graw Hill Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry
----Lippincott;s is not that clear and a little bit messy, which has less information

3. Physiology

- Lange's Physiology
- Guyton and Hall Edition 13

Choose one.

4. Pathology
Get the Papa robin and use it until you graduate from MBBS 5 years later

5. Microbiology
-No books needed, if really want, just get the one published by Mac Graw Hill

6. Pharmacology
- Same with Microbiology, the lecturer's slides are so much and you can get everything from the slides
