Amazon.com description: Product Description: This essentially practical guide to obstetric management is intended for doctors embarking on their first obstetric post, and equally for those who require a swift update on standard procedures in the clinic, ward and delivery suite. Hence it assumes a basic undergraduate knowledge of obstetrics but excludes much of the theoretical detail found in advanced texts aimed at the career obstetrician. Obstetrics in Outline provides a solid background of essential information balanced by highly practical advice on the day to day routines of the obstetric department, starting at the antenatal booking clinic and following through to delivery and the puerperium.
