Opis: General Surgery Outpatient Decisions - Michael Ellis Gaunt, Gaunt

This is a pocket-sized book outlining the general principles of out-patient surgery. A simple pocket-sized text for this speciality which can be read before or during the clinic when consultation with a senior colleague is not possible. This book describes a safe course of action for each situation when a senior colleague is not available. It provides an invaluable source of information for all SHOs, in particular, who often find themselves in the difficult position of having to deal with follow-up patients, enabling them to have some kind of action plan in mind before they walk into the patient consultation. Written in a non-didactic style, it stresses in the introduction that there are many ways of managing conditions correctly. The book is structured as follows: Part 1 covers general principles of out-patient medicine and Part 2 focuses on clinical conditions, divided into: new patients/patients with chronic conditions/follow-up patients. Easy to read and assumes a basic level of knowledge. In the less than ideal situation of limited senior cover, this book provides advice for a safe course of action for all common surgical conditions. -- British Journal of SurgeryPart 1: general outpatient issues; the purpose of the outpatient visit; new patients; follow-up patients - new conditions under investigation, chronic conditions, postoperative patients; communication - to the patient (and relatives), to the general practitioner, the next OPD doctor, referrals to other doctors.
