Urgent care medicine, to be distinguished from emergency medicine, plays a very important role in today's managed care environment by serving as a low-cost, after-hours option of choice for many patients with minor trauma or urgent conditions. This useful text builds on the highly successful first edition by totally revising and updating all chapters and expanding coverage to include chapters on ethnic medicine, drug therapy, and nonmedical (legal, medicolegal, and ethical) issues.
