520 _aPaperback
520 _aThis standard text is a practical guide to an undergraduate curriculum, and in its new edition has been completely revised and brought up-to-date. It is designed to provide medical students with the basic knowledge to allow them to cover the essential elements of any medical course. The material in the handbook aims to provide only that core of information which will enable students to understand what they need to know, why they need to know it, and how they may apply their knowledge.|The importance of the handbook becomes apparent when students are in a clinical situation where quick reference to an accurate guide is required. The handbook becomes useful to students in the ward situation, and also when requiring a summary to study prior to examinations. It is also of significant use to recent graduates and to nursing staff who want a clinical summary of information.|The book emphasizes the psychological and social aspects of treating the patient, as illustrated by the discussion of sexuality, infertility, contraception and puerperal problems. Over 100 illustrations support the text.|This book should be of interest to medical students; nurses; and junior doctors.
