I have most of those books!

People vary quite a lot on the kind of book they go for so it's hard to advise. Most of our surgeons recommend Lecture notes or Browse.

I think Davidson's is a nicer read than Kumar and Clark.

Every UK clinical student has the Oxford handbook of clinical medicine, the vast majority has Macleod's too so they are obviously good for our curriculum but I don't know about yours.
