Medical and Surgical Emergencies is based around the ABCDE (Airway,
Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Everything Else) approach to
the acutely unwell patient, and is designed specifically for
medical students and junior doctors. This approach is frequently
taught in medical schools and is used in healthcare systems
worldwide. The book is scenario-based where readers can work
through each case and learn how to manage the acutely unwell
patient. Following each case there are a set of questions in a viva
format. It is divided into chapters based on different medical and
surgical specialties. Each chapter contains several scenarios on
common emergencies in those specialties. The style is interactive
and encourages usage among small groups in preparation for
examinations. The user-friendly layout makes it easy and enjoyable
to work through. This book is ideal for students and junior doctors
revising for clinical exams, allowing them to learn new things
about certain emergencies and to consolidate their knowledge.
The Part 2 MRCOG exam consists of single best answer questions
(SBAs) and extended matching questions (EMQs). It is vital that
candidates have revised in accordance with the recommended syllabus
and practiced relevant questions for the exam. The 3 authors of
SBAs for MRCOG Part 2 have all recently sat the exam themselves,
and were therefore able to identify gaps in the SBAs that
previously were not addressed or assessed by available literature.
This book provides questions and answers, explanations and
references, which cover every subject, including clinical
governance, statistics, colposcopy and HPV, oncology, fertility,
urogynaecology and maternal mortality. SBAs for MRCOG Part 2 is
divided in two parts: questions and answers. The first part
contains over 300 questions covering 18 recommended modules. These
are then followed by mock gynaecology and obstetrics exams, each
with the requisite 50 questions. The second part gives the answers
to each question, as well as a thorough explanation and also an up
to date reference for further reading. This book can be used for
individual reading or as source material for group revision.
'I am a junior doctor. It is 4 a.m. I have run arrest calls, treated life-threatening bleeding, held the hand of a young woman dying of cancer, scuttled down miles of dim corridors wanting to sob with sheer exhaustion, forgotten to eat, forgotten to drink, drawn on every fibre of strength that I possess to keep my patients safe from harm.'
How does it feel to be spat out of medical school into a world of pain, loss and trauma that you feel wholly ill-equipped to handle? To be a medical novice who makes decisions which - if you get them wrong - might forever alter, or end, a person's life?
In Your Life in My Hands, television journalist turned junior doctor Rachel Clarke captures the extraordinary realities of life on the NHS frontline. During last year's historic junior doctor strikes, Rachel was at the forefront of the campaign against the government's imposed contract upon young doctors. Her heartfelt, deeply personal account of life as a junior doctor in today's NHS is both a powerful polemic on the degradation of Britain's most vital public institution and a love letter of optimism and hope to that same health service.

The Vasculome: From Many, One introduces the fundamental bases of
the "unity in diversity" of the Vasculome, from the coming together
of various cell lineages during development, to its deceptively
simple solution for architectural design: the efficient interplay
of a few types of building blocks supporting key similar functions
throughout the body and their highly specialized functional local
variations. Specific examples are included to illustrate how the
Vasculome is integral to the function and malfunction of different
organs, such as the brain or the kidney. Each section is preceded
by an introductory summary that will give a high level unified view
of the key concepts illustrated in the various chapters in that
section.
