Product Description

The New England Journal of Medicine
"Although substantially smaller than the standard textbook, it is packed with information. The format consists of a readable rich text, supplemented by ample charts and figures...The material is presented in such a way that the reader is encouraged to think about the patient...The approach is not "cook book" but rather thought provoking in describing the process of arriving at a differential diagnosis and evaluating the choice of treatment...The subject matter is current, including, for example, discussions of the effects of divorce on the child, child abuse and neglect, sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents, and substance abuse as well as traditional subjects...The authors have designed this book for the student and house officer during pediatric training. In addition to recommending it for this audience, I believe it would be useful in the office of any busy practitioner as a source of ready reference. I found this "half nelson" to be well written, surprisingly comprehensive, and thought-provoking in its approach to pediatric patients." -The New England Journal of Medicine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
This book is a concise textbook of Pediatrics that focuses on what the medical student needs to know during the core pediatric clerkship. It achieves this by addressing the essential aspects of pediatric health and illness within the special educational needs of the medical student and starting house officer. "Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics" has become established as one of the leading core textbooks for medical students, house officers, and residents in non-paediatric specialties. It is also widely used by nurse practitioners. The 4th edition will continue to be strong in its appeal to these groups. This is not an abridgment or condensation of the "Nelson Texbook of Pediatrics" which is our primary clinical reference work in Pediatrics. Rather, the book was developed and written fresh with the medical student audience in mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and well disponated., 21 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Nelson Essentials of Pediatrics (Paperback)
Excellent book, if you need a basic pediatrics book. For more detailled knowledge, go on and buy the "full" Nelson.

If you are a pediatric intern or student in Scandinavia, this book is a very recomendable alternative to Den Store Nordiske Pædiatri bog.
