| Summary |
"'Obstetrics and Gynaecology' has established itself as a key textbook and a classic favourite for medical students. The opening sections of this new edition incorporate the relevant basic science, history and examination, investigations and diagnosis, as well as common diseases, abnormalities, and complications in gynaecology and obstetrics respectively. These are supported by two unique separate sections on gynaecology and obstetrics management, which are tailored to help students revise for exams, especially OSCEs. The overall emphasis on patient diagnosis and management means that both medical students and postgraduate candidates have found this book invaluable. This third edition has been completely updated, with more helpful features, including: Two new appendices on Common Drugs and Normal Maternal Ranges in Pregnancy; Extra 'at a Glance' boxes for a quick chapter summary; Key point summary boxes and new and updated references provided throughout; New and improved Further Reading sections in every chapter. The third edition is full colour, highly illustrated, and includes new figures and new artwork in many chapters, and sees Tim Child, a colleague of Lawrence Impey's from the John Radcliffe, join the author team."--Publisher's website |
