Synopsis
Excerpt from Emergencies of a General Practice
The scope of this book is expressed in the title. The author has attempted to record some of the observations and practical experi ences Of a somewhat active service of forty years in emergency practice, the class of work where the attending physician is called on to think quickly and to act with rapidity and good judgment. Reference is also made to certain pathologie conditions, appendicitis, tubal rupture, acute pancreatitis, etc., emergency cases though dis tinctly surgical. The general practitioner should be familiar with the clinical symptoms of these conditions, the prompt recognition of which will not only tend to relieve him of personal responsibility, but will enable him to insist upon surgical assistance at a time most opportune to his patient.
Amputations, fractures, and dislocations are considered strictly from an emergency standpoint, or physician's first aid. Special forms of amputation and the more modern classical bone surgery are not alluded to, due to the many excellent textbooks on these sub jects. The object of the author is to consider the common, un heralded, everyday accidents or emergencies that may and do arise to confront the general practitioner at a time when least expected. Definite information along this particular line is limited, not oh tainable from textbooks, and certainly not available in time of great need; therefore the author feels that a work of this character de voted exclusively to this subject will prove of practical value and material assistance to many practitioners.
