In this 5th edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine the authorship has evolved, and the structure of the book has been revised since first publication, making this the most comprehensive revision of this core text to date. The text has been rewritten and revised taking into account extensive market research among medical students and junior doctors. The emergency section has been significantly extended to meet the needs of first-line junior doctors. It is still banded in red for immediate access. New topics include: headaches; chest pain; breathlessness; anaphylactic shock; broad, complex tachycardia; narrow, complex tachycardia; myocardial infarction/thrombolysis; tension pneumothorax; pneumonia; cerebral abscess; acute renal failure; and GI bleeding. There is a new section on practical procedures, and a section of plates showing important X-ray images.
