Fully revised, this is an updated new edition of a much-loved book which has built a reputation for pithy, entertaining good sense over the course of six editions. 'Children are different. Paediatrics is much more than medicine miniaturised.'From reviews of the previous edition:'All in all a very handy book for the student, the resident or other professionals working with children. I had a lot of fun reading it.''The book is full of wonderful illustrations, and funny and profound advice with quotations, like the words of Sir Dominic Corrigan (1853): "e;The trouble with many doctors is not that they do not know enough but that they do not see enough"e;, or the advice to teach thy tongue to say"e; "e;I do not know"e; (Rabbi Moses Maimonides or Rambam, 1135-1204). I have used this book for my final medical year paediatrics exams, the DCH and the MRCP and it has been a great help. It reminds us of the most important and basic things - history and examination, and of course a friendly demeanour.'- Short, manageable chapters- Clinical examples of examination techniques- Very helpful tips and topics section- Clinical checklists- Simply illustrated- Updated throughout- New section of 'questions of fives' questions- Short glossary of Latin terms
