First published in 1992, Clinical Problems in General Medicine and Surgery was principally written for senior medical students and interns, about to or already experiencing the real world of medical practice. It was a departure from 'traditional' medical texts in that the book dealt with the real problems of clinical medicine through scenarios encountered in the emergency department, on the wards and in outpatient clinics. How to manage the comatose patient? How to manage the young man with chest pain? What to do with the rowdy, confused patient on the ward, or the jaundiced patient in the clinic?.
