ENT Practice for the GP's Surgery (Paperback)

Many doctors enter their trainee year with little knowledge of ENT problems because there is often very little teaching of it to medical students. A wider understanding of the history, examination and management of ENT problems will stop so many GPs referring their patients to hospital out-patient departments far sooner than they would prefer. The topics cover the commonly presenting problems and their management in general practice. This is not a comprehenisve account, but a useful addition to an individual practitioner's reference book collection. Chapters are arranged in such a way as to highlight areas quickly where either referral should be automatic, or management within the practice is appropriate and cost-effective, or useful management plans can be made for the middle ground between treatment and referral.
