Two titles from the best selling Oxford Handbook and Emergencies in series are available together in this great value pack. Now in its tenth edition, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine has been fully revised, with five new authors on the writing team bringing content fresh from the bedside. Each page has been updated to reflect the latest changes in practice and best management, and the chapters on gastroenterology, history and examination, infectious disease, neurology, and radiology have been extensively revised. Unique among medical texts, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is a complete and concise guide to the core areas of medicine that also encourages thinking about the world from the patient's perspective, offering a holistic, patient-centred approach. Acutely unwell patients can deteriorate dangerously without timely recognition and intervention. Emergencies in Clinical Medicine provides an easy-to-use guide to the prompt management of common medical emergencies. Designed for rapid use, it explains how to arrive at a differential diagnosis and how to prevent, manage, or treat an emergency. Fully updated to reflect current clinical guidelines, the second edition includes several new topics, from pulmonary oedemas to the overdose patient. Revised to cover the curricula for internal medical training (IMT) and acute care common stem (ACS), this text covers emergencies from both a problem-based and disease-based approach. Cross-referencing between these two sections enables quick reference, with clear, step-by-step instructions and advice on when and who to call for help. With key algorithms for quick reference and easy to follow symbols indicating clinical severity, from life-threatening to minor, Emergencies in Clinical Medicine will help clinical staff managing acutely ill patients in an easy-to-read and portable format.
