This book, now it its third edition, is the sequel to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine; together, these volumes cover the entire range of clinical medicine. The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Specialties is an invaluable, quick reference for those taking up their first responsibilities in the major specialties of clinical medicine, whether as a medical student, an intern, or a resident in family practice. Doctors in training require such a comprehensive but concise guide to prompt them to ask the right questions, to advise them on which preliminary diagnosis to make, which investigations to request, and how to institute the correct treatment before experienced help arrives. This book is not merely a compendium of causes and recipes for treatments. It provides sufficient background information for useful understanding of a subject to the student who has never encountered a given problem before. In this edition a new chapter on anesthesia has been added, and the section on gynecology has been completely rewritten for this edition. There are several new topics including: prenatal diagnosis, advice to parents after stillbirth, delay in talking, talking to parents about mortal illness, useful points for relatives of demented patients, managing obesity, adult height and weight charts, squint diagnosis, management of corneal ulcers, and obtaining and preparing eyedrops.

Editorial Reviews
Review
`Review from previous edition Finally the new edition has arrived and in short it's brilliant.' Northwing (Sheffield Medical School Magazine) June 2004
`This bad boy, chummily referred to as the "salt'n'vinegar" does exactly what it says on the packet, delivering all the specialties you will encounter in life as a clinical medical student. ... OHCS is concisely planned and organised, with a fantastic index. The wonderful dangly book-mark bits are there as ever, and OHCS is also usefully cross-referenced with the cheese'n'onion. ... I cannot over-emphasise how helpful this book is during our specialty blocks in 4th and 5th years. Highly recommended.' SURGO, Glasgow University Medical Journal
`... an invaluable quick reference guide, either as a reminder of a condition or for more detailed facts... This is a book that has stood, and will no doubt continue to stand the test of time.' Cambridge Medicine
`For less than the price of a slap-up meal out, you too can be the proud owner of the OHCS - a bargain if ever I saw one.' Dr JM Sager --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Exelent choice for the all-days,
By Husz András (Budapet, HUNGARY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties (Medicine) (Paperback)
All the content - data and tables - are worth for all money. It is easy to use, many things to find, and with the Oxford Handbook of Clnical Medicine they are the best clinical guides for the hard days. No other handbook is as useful at bedside.
