Overview

This is an inpatient medicine book for those residents and medical students rotating to inpatient medicine for adults. Its main goal is to provide meaningful teaching without compromising the quality of patient care. By aiming to do this, it provides a succinct demonstration of ideas to deal with common medical conditions encountered on the adult inpatient medicine floor. The flow of ideas and procedures is detailed in a simplified way to guide learners to master the essence of each medical condition.

Some of these chapters include acid-base interpretation, minerals, fluid, nutrition, anemia and substance abuse. The second section focuses on a variety of surgical topics such as perioperative medicine, vascular medicine and transplant medicine. The third and largest section discusses essential topics that are the most common problems encountered in inpatient medicine. These include inpatient dermatology, acute pancreatitis, pneumonia, COPD and epilepsy, among others. The book ends with essential formulas and vocabularies needed to treat patients. Each chapter includes a flowchart to help guide the user in their care.
