Here is a handy, all-purpose guide for both students and interns involved in all aspects of clinical medicine. It helps the trainee to ask the right questions, make a preliminary diagnosis, request proper investigations, and perhaps most importantly, institute the correct treatment before experienced help arrives. Now in a new edition, this companion volume to The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine includes new material regarding blood pressure in children, milks for preterm babies, height centile charts, autism, salivary gland disease, oral and dental disease, the correct use of graduated support hosiery, infestations, drowning, and minor emergency procedures.
