  • Author: Michael M. Henry and Jeremy N. Thompson
  • Description:
    A comprehensive and attractively presented 4-colour textbook of clinical surgery aimed primarily at medical students but also of use to junior doctors, allied health students, nurses -anyone who needs a comprehensive and systematic textbook of surgery. The features - information boxes, illustrations etc. - and general 'look and feel' of the book have been designed to match Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine 4/e, so students familiar with that book should be immediately 'at home' with this one. Features: * comprehensive account of surgery * covers general issues - wound healing, pain control, etc - in the first section * a regional approach is adopted for the largest section - section 2 * the third section covers surgical specialities - paediatrics, endocrinology, urology - and also includes specialities such as ophthalmology, ENT and orthopaedics that are often omitted from competing books * the arrangement of contents is straightforward and conventional - a 'plus' in comparison to other texts which can be somewhat idiosyncratic in their approach * information and practical boxes are used throughout to enhance the text * includes over 200 4-colour line drawings - beautifully executed to be both attractive and clear * also includes over 80 black and white and 60 full-colour clinical photographs * designed to complement Kumar and Clark's highly successful Clinical Medicine textbook About the Author Mike Henry and Jeremy Thompson are both Consultant Surgeons at the Chelsea and Westminster and the Royal Marsden Hospitals. Being in the heart of central London, their time is often spent treating the complaints of the famous (and no doubt sometimes the infamous), which if nothing else keeps life interesting and enlightening! Mike did his first training in London, Jeremy in Cambridge. Both have held Senior Lecturer posts at major universities in the UK, and have travelled abroad frequently in connection with research and other projects. Mike's research interests include functional disorders of the large bowel and Jeremy's include adhesion formation and prevention. Both editors are members of the Surgical Research Society. Mike is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, was awarded the Patey Prize of the Surgical Research Society in 1971 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. Jeremy is a Fellow of the Association of Surgeons and a member of the British Society of Gastroenterology. Outside 'office hours', in addition to compiling this textbook, both editors try to find time for their families and friends, the occasional work-out, skiing holidays, and wining and dining!
