Acute clinical medicine

"The aim of Acute clinical medicine is to provide guidance for young doctors and senior medical students on the management of patients with acute medical problems. The book consists of short descriptions of over 200 problems frequently encountered when 'on take' or 'on call'. Each problem is discussed under standard headings: common causes, predisposing factors, pathology, pathophysiology and prognosis. Important points are highlighted in boxes, as are vital investigations." --BOOK JACKET.
