A practical guide to the management of medical emergencies

For the medical patient presenting with an undifferentiated emergency, the best outcome is achieved  when initial assessment is by an experienced generalist, and subsequent care, if needed, by the  appropriate specialist. This book is written for the generalist: it aims to guide the trainee and provide an aide-memoire  for the more experienced physician, to diagnose and manage the broad range of problems and diseases  encountered in the emergency department, ambulatory care centre, acute medical unit or on the  wards.
