Any junior doctor navigating the early stages of training will recognise the need to develop the ability to crystallise the essence of a clinical case with a few succinct questions and directed examination, enabling subsequent investigations and treatments to be well directed. Whilst the acquisition of this experience requires hard yards on the shop floor, this book makes an excellent companion for the junior doctor in the Emergency Department or the Admissions Unit. It offers an accessible and concise guide to the management of acute medical problems, with succinct ‘aide memoires’ for focussed assessment.
