Περιγραφή
This book provides emergency department and urgent care physicians with a treatment plan for patients deemed not to have an emergency medical situation and who can be safely treated as an outpatient. Although this book examines a wide variety of conditions and patient demographics, it maintains a consistent narrative that reflects the urgency and specificities of the emergency medicine setting. This book further fills gaps in the emergency medicine literature by relaying deliberate and concise training on how to provide basic primary care.
Primary Care for Emergency Physicians utilizes the latest information present in the field to provide the reader with up-to-date diagnosis and treatment for the conditions most often seen in the emergency department. A second edition to its successful predecessor, the book’s original chapters have been thoroughly updated and several new chapters have been added. The new chapters consist of diagnoses, treatments, and general information on diabetes mellitus, vaginal problems, sciatica, and allergic rhinitis. Among the topics carried over from the first edition are headaches, ear pain, sinonasal diseases, GERD, bloating, constipation, and hemorrhoids.
