    TLDR The book has valuable information but is hard to read due to poor writing.
    The book "Foundations of Evidence-Based Medicine" by Milos Jenicek aimed to educate readers about evidence-based medicine but was criticized for its convoluted writing, excessive headings, and grammatical errors, making it difficult to extract key concepts. Despite these issues, it contained valuable information and original thoughts, with well-referenced and insightful sections. The document also reviewed several other books related to medical practice, including those addressing stress in medical professionals, end-of-life care, breast cancer treatment, hair pathology, and ethics consultation. Additionally, it discussed the evolving expectations in healthcare service standards and reviewed "Forensic Medicine: Clinical and Pathological Aspects," which was praised for its comprehensive coverage and clear visuals, despite some areas needing improvement.
