Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A clear and didactic approach to diagnosis and management in emergency medicine - ideal for 'heat of the moment' decision-making by the bedside
Long description:
The fifth edition of this international best-selling emergency medicine handbook has been completely updated and expanded to include the latest evidence-based guidelines in both emergency and acute medicine. The text follows a standard, clear and well set-out approach designed to maximize the practical delivery of care at the bedside. New additions to this edition range from the 2005 CPR Guidelines, febrile neutropenia and acute renal failure to information on handling SARS, bird 'flu and chemical and biological threats, amongst many others. On-the-spot decision making with a constant stream of undifferentiated patients requires a special kind of doctor - one who is up to the challenge and prepared to act, not just think. This new edition will prove an indispensable resource full of succinct, invaluable and appropriate information for the intern, SHO or junior registrar, whether called upon to act in the relative quiet of the night or during the hectic challenge of a weekend afternoon. The same high standards of care are expected with no margin for error; let this book take you to the benchmark, and make you a source of invaluable knowledge for others.
From reviews of the previous edition:
"The language is clear, the advice straightforward, and the scope comprehensive ... an essential part of the 'shop floor' library." Hospital Medicine
"A reliable text ... of enormous help to junior doctors practising accident and emergency medicine for the first time" Postgraduate Medical Journal
" ... logical, methodical and provides a framework for the management of a wide spectrum of illnesses and injury. The conciseness, portability and affordability of this text make it an excellent 'registrar in book form'". Medical Journal of Australia
"This is one of the most popular, widely read small texts available ... an excellent text that gives acceptable, quick answers to patient diagnosis and management". Emergency Medicine
