Emergencies from an internist's perspective

This modern book covers the most common acute conditions that a physician (not only of internal medicine) may encounter at the bedside, in the outpatient clinic or in the admissions department of a hospital.

It briefly recapitulates the etiology, clinic and diagnosis of common acute conditions, presents detailed initial treatment procedures and outlines follow-up therapy. Practically written publication is enriched by knowledge from practice.

The book was originally written at the Department of Internal Medicine, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague and Motol University Hospital as a teaching text for young doctors. The addition of the text has resulted in a publication that will be appreciated not only by beginners but also by more experienced physicians for quick orientation in the field.

Last but not least, the book can be an aid in the study of medicine or preparation for certification examinations.
