Publisher's Synopsis
This book is essentially a set of guidelines to help junior doctors manage the clinical problems they are likely to meet in hospital. As doctors are faced with children with problems rather than "diseases", the book uses a problem-based approach. While principally a practical aid, the text and illustrations include information and ideas that should encourage readers in their studies and help them prepare for paediatric specialist qualifications.;The second edition includes an extended section on neonatology, reflecting the growing complexity of this sub-specialty, and many new illustrations. Each section and chapter has a box of quick reference practice points. A companion volume to this title, "Community Paediatrics", is also available in an ELBS edition.
