Accidents and Emergencies (Pocket Medical Reference Series)

This quick-reference pocket book provides clear and concise guidance on a comprehensive range of situations commonly encountered in a hospital Emergency Department. Written by an experienced physician, this handbook is an ideal supplement to teaching and consultation. The text presents the investigation and management of everyday problems, and offers concise, pragmatic advice. Some of the more difficult problems not normally taught to medical students, such as how to deal with difficult patients who may be drunk, hysterical or addicted, are also covered. Indications of when a problem should be referred to a specialist are explained, as are emergency complications. This readable text is supplemented with a large number of clear and practical illustrations and useful lists.Kirby, Norman G. is the author of 'Accidents and Emergencies (Pocket Medical Reference Series)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780192630001 and ISBN 0192630008.
