Publisher's Synopsis
Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with "on the go", at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.
Topics reflect information needs stemming from today's integrated undergraduate & foundation courses:
- Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc)
- Clinical skills (surface anatomy, patient examination, etc.)
- Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)
Key Points
- Highly affordable price and convenient pocket size format - fits in back pocket!
- Logical, sequential content: the first principles of emergency imaging, then a guide to understanding a normal image and the building blocks of an abnormal image, before describing specific clinical disorders
- Clinical disorders are illustrated by high quality radiographs, ultrasounds, CTs and MRIs, with brief accompanying text that clearly identifies the defining feature of the image
- Focuses on the conditions that medical students and foundation doctors are most likely to see and be tested on
- Second edition features a new chapter on common emergency cases including chest pain and breathlessness, acute abdominal pain, sudden onset headache, and weight loss and jaundice
