With the passage of time, it is impossible to remember all aspects relating to these cases, but there may be a requirement to give evidence in court, several years after the initial event. The only reference will be the notes made much earlier. Medicolegally, the A&E record is the prime source of evidence in medical negligence cases. This popular Handbook provides practical, accessible guidelines on a huge range of situations that present to the A & E department, and is the essential guide for junior doctors (including candidates for examinations in Accident and Emergency Medicine), specialist nurses, paramedics, and general practitioners. The text is deliberately precise and prescriptive. It gives up-to-date step-by step advice on presentation, investigation, diagnosis, emergency treatment and further referral for adult and pediatric patients, important practical procedures are covered in stepwise, easy-to-follow format with line diagrams illustrating anatomical landmarks.
