Oxford Handbook of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Oxford Medical Handbooks) Paperback – 10 Aug. 2006

by Stuart Bloom (Author), George Webster (Author)
4.3 out of 5 stars 42 ratings
Busy clinicians need easily accessible information falling into two broad categories: diagnosis and management of patients with particular groups of symptoms; and comprehensive information on defined clinical problems. With this in mind, the Oxford Handbook of Gastroenterology and Hepatology has been structured in a unique way. The first section covers approaches to clinical problems detailing 29 of the most common problems in GI medicine, including infectious disease and gastrointestinal problems in developing countries. A key section of the handbook is a unique A-Z compendium of the specialty which includes information on 100s of topics in gastroenterology, from Abetalipoproteinaemia to Zieve's syndrome. Colour coded links enable readers to find information in related chapters quickly. Further sections include emergencies, and commonly used drugs used in gastroenterology and hepatology, with emphasis on practice tips and common complications. The result of this new approach is a handbook which is practical and informative, while being a pleasure to use. It is an essential guide to the management of common conditions and will be invaluable to all those involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal disease.

Product description

Review

This small but very pleasant book covers in a very individual and intelligent manner almost all daily gastrointestinal problems encountered in the clinic and on the wards...The authors are to be congratulated for having produced this must-have handbook which will be appreciated equally by junior doctors in training and by those immersed in busy hospital medical departments. (Digestive and Liver Disease)

    Not enough information or any form of indepth knowledge in this book, a real waste of money, might be useful for medical students only but not for a doctor at all. Hard to use in A to Z form.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Useless book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2013
    Bought this book from the book store on Goodge street in London, Absolutely Useless book, where bits an pieces of Information is scattered all over the book. Certainly not up to date and neither does it help you on wards and neither in the gastro clinics. The authors need to be desperately changed and fresh perspective needs to brought in. Do not squander your money on this Item.
