Hi,
First of all, if I'm asking in the wrong forum, I'm sorry in advance.
I have a family friend who is retiring from OB/GYN due to stress, etc, and has gotten a new job as more of a general practitioner . He will be overseeing the medical care of mentally handicapped people in a mixed independent living/group home/nursing home type of environment. He'll be doing annual physicals, medications, etc. The well-woman things will obviously come easy to him, but I think he'll need help with the maintenance of general medical problems.
Do you guys have any suggestions for a relatively quick and easy reference book? Something that a poor resident like myself could afford to give him as a Christmas present?
The first one that I looked at was "5 Minute Clinical Consult." Do you guys have any feedback on that book?
Thanks a lot for your help.
