3.0 out of 5 stars A handy pocket-book for SHO's/junior residents starting out., 8 Nov 1999

By A Customer

This is a welcome addition to the Oxford Handbook series, which is so popular with medical students and trainee doctors throughout the English speaking world. As an overview or introduction to Accident & Emergency Medicine it is comprehensive in the topic areas it covers. It does not dwell on theoretical detail, but acts as a practical guide for students and junior doctors unsure of the initial assessment and management of common emergency problems. A criticism I would offer is that this book is lacking somewhat in detail in terms of the management of many conditions, offering the advice "refer to specialist" all to frequently. In a climate where emergency physicians are expanding their role, this may limit the use of this book in the near future. Overall, for the medical student or first time doctor in A&E, this is a very useful resource to have readily available.

3.0 out of 5 stars wait for the new edition, 16 Nov 2004

By	jonhaff (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews

I am generally a big fan of the Oxford Handbook series and its definitely appropriate to have one for A&E. However, this field is constantly changing and the current edition of the book is dangerously out of date and contains some important errors. For example, I just read a section on poisoning and it advises beta blocker administration for cocaine intoxication -- most definitely NOT a good idea and potentially a disastrous management! Our A&E consultant advised us not to trust it as it has so many errors, which I think says a lot. Luckily, there is a new edition out in Jan 2005 so if you are planning on getting this book I would certainly wait until then - hopefully the errors will be sorted and like its brothers and sisters in the series it will be an invaluable pocket guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine, 6 Nov 2008

By	Renal (Royal London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine (Oxford Handbooks Series) (Paperback)

While this is a good textbook, as the oxford handbooks tend to be, it really needs to be read alongside the OHCM and OHCS (which kind of defeats the purpose of a single handbook) and duplicates a lot of their content.

Some sections are interesting, but fundamentally this wasn't as useful as it could have been.
