  This updated edition of the clinical handbook incorporates two new sections on clinical signs and symptoms and geriatric medicine. The text offers solutions to practical problems that may be encountered on the wards and gives a concise account of modern medicine and surgery. The practical nature of the book has been considered in its design, which places each topic on a separate page for quick reference. Opposite each page of text there is a blank page for the reader's own notes and updatings. The book is pocket-size and bound with a tough plastic cover. This text is intended primarily for junior doctors, particularly those taking up their responsibilities on the wards for the first time.
