Clarke’s Isolation and Identification of Drugs

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go”, at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

• Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc)
• Clinical skills (patient examination, etc.)
• Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)

Key points

• Practical, accessible introduction to a subject that students find daunting, but which juniors will encounter as part of orthopaedic and emergency rotations
• Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science; then chapters devoted to the clinical essentials of orthopaedics and the disorders and injuries seen most commonly in practice
• Descriptions of common disorders are enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient presents with…), which help students and trainees to recognise and manage common presenting problems

Make the most of every patient encounter – from the clinical interview and history to the physical exam, both in-office and bedside. This discreet quick reference by Ilene L. Rosenberg, MD, FCCP, Todd Cassese, MD, FACP, and Dennis Barbon, RN, helps you achieve consistent and comprehensive results when collecting data and determining your next steps. Carry this thin, fully illustrated checklist in your white coat pocket for the fastest, most efficient way to access essential information you need to know and remember every day.
