Here is the second edition of a clear and succinct volume that offers practical solutions to problems likely to be encountered by medical students, interns, nurses, and many other health professionals. Two new sections, one on clinical signs and symptoms, and one on geriatric medicine have been added, while existing material has been extensively rewritten. When used in conjunction with its companion title Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities, the full range of clinical medicine is covered.

The third edition of this best-selling practical handbook of clinical medicine has been redesigned to make it even easier to use, not only for fast, reliable reference under pressure -- on the ward, in the clinic, and in the lecture theatre -- but also for detailed information on general medical problems, surgery and emergencies. Now in four colors, the text has been extensively revised and updated, including two completely new chapters on oncology and radiology and a separate easy-to-use emergency section. Blank pages provide ample space for readers' notes and the update boxes published in the British Medical Journal (also available by fax and electronic mail). This pocket-sized handy reference, familiar to countless readers, is packed with facts and practical advice in an easily accessible format, making it an essential, reliable companion for every doctor.

The new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is the best yet. It has been completely reset in more readable type, it contains more diagrams and boxes and completely new chapters. But, most important, has been the meticulous updating of each page with the best that evidence-based medicine can offer. Concise, readable, and authoritative, the text is a model of everything a Handbook should be. But it is more than model -- it is the one trusted friend found in white coat pockets the world over - now reborn in new colours with a new full-colour plate section and a wealth of new material. This Handbook is associated with its own web site, and widely acclaimed updateable electronic version (the Oxford Clinical Mentor). Thus Oxford University Press offers a complete system for updateable clinical information. New topics for this edition include: surviving house jobs, medical ethics, assessing the locomotor system, the role of jargon, facial pain, walking difficulty, help for patients with Alzheimer's and their carers, fundoplation, somatization, exotic infections, what every doctor needs to know about HIV, anti-HIV drugs in detail, numbers-needed-to-treat, screening, cardiovascular health, Candida in ITU, posteria myocardial infarction, atheroma and the mechanism and action of statin drugs.
