Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “This book makes an excellent companion for the junior doctor in the Emergency Department or the Admissions Unit…. [It Provides] the essentials in an easy to use format and comes highly recommended as an at-your-fingertips companion.” (Acute Medicine Journal, December 2008) “It is a handy book, especially for doctors in training who need immediate help in managing a medical emergency. I can recommend it without hesitation.” (Hospital Doctor)”This excellent little book was written for junior medical staff. However as a concise vade-mecum for the anaesthetist it would be extremely valuable.” (Anaethesia & Intensive Care) From the Back Cover Acute Medicine is a truly practical guide aimed at the junior physician, casualty officer and final year student, explaining what to do when faced with medical emergencies “on take”, on the ward or in the emergency department. This well-established manual has been fully revised to cover the curriculum for trainees in General Internal Medicine (GIM). About the Author David C.
