The Handbook of Hospital Medicine was originally conceived by Dr
Mitchell as a guide for junior medical staff working in his own
unit. Its aim was to provide a practical pocket-sized guide on
diagnosis, investigation, and general management of some of the
more common medical problems. The success of the original book in
Dr Mitchell's unit lead to its introduction in other units and
hospitals and through the help of Johnson and Johnson to junior
hospital doctors throughout South Africa. We (PNP and CW) have
taken Dr Mitchell's original book and have attempted to modify it
to the needs of medicine in Britian. The basic concept of the book
remains the same, i.e. to provide a practical pocket reference
guide for final year medical students through to registrars. Within
the limits imposed by a pocket book it is obviously impossible to
be comprehensive. We have attempted to cover common problems, but
have also covered some less common cionditions we considered
important, or where we felt rapid referrence was not readily
available. The views presented represent an up-to date consensus of
thinking, which we have had to present in a rather dogmatic form
due to the constraints of space. We have given details of drug
doses in the book but have assumed that the British National
Formulary will be readily available for reference on drug
side-effects and interactions. We would like to acknowledge the
help and advice of many colleagues in the Newcastle area hospitals.
