Synopsis:
More than two million medical students, doctors and other health professionals from around the globe have owned a copy of Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine. Today's readers rely on Davidson's to provide up-to-date detail of contemporary medical practice, presented in a style that is concise, beautifully illustrated and easy to read. Davidson's not only provides all of the factual knowledge required to practice medicine, but also explains it in the context of underlying principles, basic science and research evidence, and shows the reader how to apply their knowledge to manage patients who present with problems rather than specific diseases. New to this edition A new editorial team leads this edition with Dr Nicki College and Professor Brian Walker joined by Professor Stuart Ralston, Head of the School of Molecular and Clinical Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. A substantial group of new contributors bring new experience and ideas to the content and presentation of the textbook. New `Practice Point' summaries detail the practical skills that medical students and junior doctors must acquire, from nasogastric tube insertion to the interpretation of ECGs and arterial blood gases. New `In pregnancy' boxes examine the main issues to consider when the patient is a pregnant woman. New `Emergency Boxes' are highlighted to emphasise the core knowledge needed to manage acutely ill patients. The global perspective has been enhanced with the assistance of the International Advisory Board and authors recruited from around the globe.
