Provides GPs with simple, easy-to-use instructions for managing the most common emergencies. A GP’s first contact in an emergency is almost always a phone call, and the advice they give here is the most important for handling the next problem. A unique feature of this book is that each topic begins with instructions on how to handle the phone for the first time. Each of the issues presented here is addressed in detail with a brief summary of the assessment, advice and management to be carried out during the patient’s treatment. The emphasis is on primary care, with discussion of differential diagnoses necessary to immediately determine the best course of action. Tables are used liberally to record important information. Final instructions and strategy for each emergency are shown in thick horizontal lines. Emergency in general medicine is an essential work for general practitioners practicing in an office, on call, in a company or in an office. It is also an important course for registered GPs.
