The first edition of Practical Occupational Medicine was written by
Anthony Seaton,
Raymond Agius, Elizabeth McCloy and Denis D'Auria. It received very
favourable
reviews, such as the following:
"Practical Occupational Medicine provides a much needed guide
to
a neglected aspect of medical education. Informative and easy to
read, the book contains many commonsense examples of when lateral
thinking is required to establish a diagnosis."
British Medical Journal
"It is difficult to find a place for criticism. The book can
be
warmly recommended for all the groups suggested in the preface: medical
students, general practitioners and other postgraduates taking courses
in occupational medicine, nurses, and clinical consultants....The book
is very well written and easy to read."
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health
"The authors are a team well recognized in undergraduate and
postgraduate teaching. This book is a result of their
awareness
of the need for an introductory text written in such a way as
to
bridge
the gap between normal clinical practice and occupational medicine
practice. It is not often that the reviewer wants to, or is able
to, read a book word for word and from cover to cover, but this
text invites it. The ten chapters contain much common
sense,
practical advice, guidance and help to avoid pitfalls, even for
experienced physicians and consultants in other clinical
disciplines
who have an interest in the subject. It was refreshing
to read
a book embracing fundamental issues and principles, yet adding
something new to be learnt ... ... balanced, low priced,
clearly
written, well laid out and easily readable text, which properly
reflects its title. It can be highly recommended to
Occupational
Hygienists as well as to Occupational Physicians, General Practitioners
and Nurses. I would happily have paid for it having now
read
what it preaches. "
First reviewer - Annals of Occupational Hygiene
Finally the short textbook of occupational medicine has
arrived!
This new practical guide to
occupational medicine fills the gap in textbooks on the
subject.
The histories fit neatly in the format of the text and enhance
the
reading of the medical dialogue. In this way it may be
useful
for student, interested physician, occupational nurse,
hygienist
or other members of an occupational health team.
Second reviewer - Annals of Occupational Hygiene
The second edition of
