Review
It is difficult to fault this book, if not impossible. It is certain the become the standard text for junior doctors.....and hopefully for medical students. Quite simply it doesn't get any better than this. John Scott, British Journal of General Practice, June 1999

3.0 out of 5 stars
A handy pocket-book for SHO's/junior residents starting out.,
By Dr Paul Atkinson MRCP(UK) (paul@pauljulie.sof... (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
This is a welcome addition to the Oxford Handbook series, which is so popular with medical students and trainee doctors throughout the English speaking world. As an overview or introduction to Accident & Emergency Medicine it is comprehensive in the topic areas it covers. It does not dwell on theoretical detail, but acts as a practical guide for students and junior doctors unsure of the initial assessment and management of common emergency problems. A criticism I would offer is that this book is lacking somewhat in detail in terms of the management of many conditions, offering the advice "refer to specialist" all to frequently. In a climate where emergency physicians are expanding their role, this may limit the use of this book in the near future. Overall, for the medical student or first time doctor in A&E, this is a very useful resource to have readily available.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A valuable reference!,
By "naulmann" (East Atlantic Ocean) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
I am a Registered Nurse working a variety of remote locations providing paramedic support. I have examined a number of reference publications and have found this to be one of the best. It is concise, easily accessable and provides sufficient information to perform most procedures listed. I agree that it may sometimes lack detail - however, you must draw the line between a ready reference and a definative text. It would be an ideal electronic ref - hopefully OUP will consider this in the near future. IMHO the best available. Nic Aulmann RN, BA, BNursing, PostGradCert(Critical Care) Remote Medic
