IF YOU HAVE EVER FELT the paralyzing and strangling helplessness of hunting for the right word when you need it the most, then you know the real value of a rich vocabulary. There is no man on earth so alone as the one who is addressing a group of associates and, at the moment of putting across an "idea" which may make the future for him, finds himself struggling hopelessly for the right word to convey that idea. He is alone then ; there is no one who can help him, no matter how much we may wish to. He is alone with a mind that is struggling valiantly to broadcast the right word conveying the right idea.

Unless the right word is immediately available, the idea may as well have died at the very moment of conception. Remember there is more truth than poetry to the old jingle "... for want of a horseshoe nail a kingdom was lost." It is equally true that for the lack of a single word one's whole future may be lost.

This volume is a truly splendid collection of related vocabularies so arranged that the user can place his finger immediately upon the category of words that he needs for use or for study. To make these collections even more readily accessible for use and study, the collections of words have been divided vertically into groups. These are the major divisions for all words of verbs, adjectives, and nouns, the inverse order to the one by which we learned our wards as children, but the correct order in which we must learn our words as adults to improve and enrich our vocabularies.

During medical training there are certain parts of day-to-day tasks that are not taught at medical school nor in the traditional reference books. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by osmosis while on placement and under the guidance of junior doctors. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school. They are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes golden rules or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts.

This book is designed to help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.
