Publisher's Synopsis
Clinicians need a book which will provide them with a practical, cost–effective approach to diagnosis, treatment and management of common clinical conditions. They need information or indications for referral, indications for hospitalisation and the essentials of long–term management, including patient education. For this audience, breadth, not depth of coverage is critical. This manual is a "user–friendly" source for primary care providers, including acute and chronic medical conditions, screening, emergencies and so on. Covering the whole field of primary care from cardiology to ophthalmology, gynaecology and travel medicine, this will provide a perfect pocket reference for busy clinicians in harrassed outpatient settings.
