Markus Heinemann's hands-on guide with practical advice to help you avoid mistakes while writing a medical paper is now available in an updated second edition. The book maintains its one-of-a-kind approach of presenting examples to illustrate how one should not write a medical paper or any other scientific text.
The second edition is rich in new examples from real manuscripts to drive home concepts. It also includes a new section focusing on common mistakes associated with language and stylistic principles.
Special Features:
Abundant information about a complex subject condensed in a small format
Coverage of potential pitfalls in each component of a manuscript that make it difficult for a paper to get accepted for publication
Explanation of the fate of a manuscript after its submission and, eventually, acceptance, to help writers understand expectations and responses
Lucid language and enjoyable read
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in scientific publishing. Junior medical scientists (independent of specialty), experienced scientists who wish to venture as authors, reviewers, and even editorial personnel can refer to the book time and again.

I found this book quite informative for any medical student who wants to write a medical paper and avoid any silly mistakes therein. It has made sure that we understand the do's and don't 's by giving necessary examples and at the same time kept the information to the point. I would definitely recommend it as well as use it while writing a medical paper.
