Oxford Desk Reference: Acute Medicine (Oxford Desk Reference Series) Review This new and freshly published substantial reference source is an impressive offering, ready and able to help a busy practitioner... This is an excellent, in depth textbook of acute medicine reflecting current UK practice which I think represents very good value for money (Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia)What makes this resource unique is its refusal to compartmentalize issues by individual subspecialties. As a result, everyone involved in the care of acutely ill patients will benefit from this book and will moreover be able to understand the issues from a more holistic viewpoint (Mary E. Arthur, MD, FASE, Anesthesia and Analgesia) 				    	 					 About the Author Richard Leach is a leading clinician and author of the popular 'Acute and Critical Care at a Glance'.
