Description
In an innovative and interesting way, this textbook looks first at the healthy child in society and divergences from the considered normal before looking at the medical conditions covered within the specialty of Paediatrics. The authors use genuine case histories throughout to cover the diseases and conditions which children suffer. This book is intended for medical undergraduates in their clinical years. All medical students do a rotation in Paediatrics and need a textbook in the subject.
Reviews / Votes
" ... the problem-based approach does well to bring medicine to life - something that may be very refreshing when revising for Finals, as it offers a reiteration of the clinical realities of paediatrics, rather than a dry list of diseases." Cambridge Medicine, Vol 7, No 2More details
