Acute Medicine second edition

Declan O'Kane

Sinossi

Acute Medicine 2e is a current and concise guide to hospital emergency medicine for registrars, junior doctors and medical students working on the wards.  

This second edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to incorporate the latest treatment guidelines. It has been substantially rewritten and streamlined to enable the reader to access the pertinent information even more quickly. 
 
It is not just a list of instructions, but contains pathophysiology and useful clinical pearls:
detailed management of acute medical and surgical emergencies, including in pregnancy
general ward management issues
descriptions of key procedures
normal laboratory values
emergency drug formulary 
 
From reviews of the first edition:
 
"This new book by Dr O’Kane is a very useful and interesting book directed towards Medical registrars but also with many positive features for anyone from Medical Student to Consultants... [It] works through groups of emergencies according to speciality and organ grouping. This is helpful as it enables the reader to link the different differentials together well.  It also tries to signpost all the different conditions in relation to the Acute Medicine and General Internal Medicine curriculums.
 
There is also an excellent section on fluid prescription, outlining what each fluid option contains along with potential fluid prescriptions in relation to the daily needs of the human body. Each clinical problem is presented in a clear and logical format, beginning with the things to ask or think about when receiving a referral - much as junior doctors would do in a real clinical situation. 
 
The book also includes an excellent 'general management’ section, which covers important aspects of the assessment of mental capacity and considerations to make when discharging a patient - things which are often poorly taught in other settings. All of the clinical procedures are described in some level of detail - not enough to learn to do the procedure but enough to signpost as well as getting the reader to think about why it is needed and any associated risks." - Journal for Acute Medicine, October 2015

The Myth of Mental Illness -...

Thomas S. Szasz MD

The fiftieth anniversary edition of the most influential critique of psychiatry every written, with a new preface on the age of Prozac and Ritalin and the rise of designer drugs, plus two bonus essays.Thomas Szasz's classic book revolutionized thinking about the nature of the psychiatric profession and the moral implications of its practices. By diagnosing unwanted behavior as mental illness, psychiatrists, Szasz argues, absolve individuals of responsibility for their actions and instead blame their alleged illness. He also critiques Freudian psychology as a pseudoscience and warns against the dangerous overreach of psychiatry into all aspects of modern life.

Getting Upset - From Head to...

John Rushton

We all get upset from time to time. It happens when people do things to us when we wouldn't have done the same to them. When we get bad service from our bank or other company, it happens everywhere. Then there are those useless politically correct morons who are forever getting upset or offended because they can't get to grips with free speech and that others have different views than they have. We need to understand why we get upset and what we can do about it, just sitting there wallowing in your own negative juice isn't going to help nor solve anything. Our own attitude and feelings need to be appeased and understood and we need to similarly see the bigger picture and incorporate your own worth and value in that. So many people get upset and make an issue out of it as it plays on their ego, they don't respect themselves and thus get caught up in a spiral of anger and upset.
