Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties 10th Edition PDF Download

Preface

This is the first medical book that takes the health of its readers seriously because the health of one person (a patient) should not be bought at the expense of another (your doctor).

It is a disturbing paradox that when we study medicine our health can be forgotten, with long hours of hard work, often without joy or sustenance, since our health is affected by the weight of an overloaded curriculum (no doubt because we are overstimulated by the too many receptors, organs, and systems, of which we know too much.

What can a book do about this dilemma? While we strive to guide you through the realms of specialties with a concise overview of what you need to know, we also excel in developing your skills beyond pure facts, as they can be quickly forgotten. We want to give the mind anecdotes that remind you of the value of your hard work to inspire you and motivate you to learn more.

They are the peculiarities of medicine that we remember best; The bits that make you smile and that you realize that the work we do can be truly inspiring. The symbol of the spiral [] throughout the book, and at the beginning of each chapter, is your reminder to connect and enjoy your patients.

Discover what is important to them and, in doing so, make a real difference in their health and well-being. Few people receive such a privileged view of another person’s life. Few other professions can reflect on their day, and from the mundane, the routine, even the stressful, can produce episodes so attractive or stimulating their encounters at work.

We also hope that our writings will inspire you so that you can continue working. Do not think that the work of a student or a junior doctor goes unnoticed: you are in the ideal position to make astute and objective observations without leaving aside the previous luggage. Two medical students were instrumental in the voyage of discovery of insulin: in 1869, German student Paul Langerhans found groups of cells in the pancreas whose function was unknown, but later proved to be insulin-producing cells.

The work of Canadian student Charles Best with Frederick Banting led to the discovery of insulin in 1921, a miraculous treatment for a previously feared and deadly disease.
