This book attempts to provide we general physicians with a
conveniently sized work for daily reference. It deals with an area
of medical practice which is rapidly changing. For that reason
regular updating with new material will need to be considered. The
book does not profess to be encyc1opaedic. In order to keep the
size of the book within bounds. there are no sections devoted
solely to psychological medicine or to paediatrics. but the book
does deal with the more common diseases as revealed by morbidity
studies. The main section of the book-A-is concerned with these
commoner diseases and is set out in conventional fashion. It is in
two parts; the one dealing with therapeutics. the other with
clinical phannacology. The second section-B-reviews therapy in some
selected areas. Cancer. pain and tenninal care. contraception. and
hyperlipoproteinaemias. It also contains pieces on common
emergencies. home renal dialysis and tropical diseases in
non-tropical countries. The creation of 'pain c1inics.. and the
possibilities for the treatment of intractable pain are innovations
calculated to be more widely used as we become more aware of
theirvalue. The field of rehabilitation is one of which we general
physicians are on less familiar ground. To say that by us it is a
neglected field is perhaps not too strong a statement. The section
on Drugs concentrates on the practical side of drug administration
and hence the stress is on the incompatibilities. side etfects and
contraindications."
