Review

The main attribute that a doctor needs is the skill in managing emergencies. Every one knows that fever can be supressed by "Calpol" and a small wound healed by "Nebasulf" and our Indian population is well known for the favour they show to the over-the-counter prescriptions and a doctor is not usually consulted for these seemingly trivial aspects

 

Another competition General Practitioners face is from the quacks. and the paramedical who practice illegally (not to mention the magic remedies more rampant than you can imagine in rural India, even after almost 6 decades of Independence)

 

We may like it or not, but in Rural India, the reality is that a general practitioner or a junior is neither called for treating simple day to day conditions (like common cold - treated by the patient's grandmother) or for chronic conditions (like Hypertension - where the patient immediately goes to a Diabetologist). But an allopathy doctor is the first choice whenever there is an emergency. Whether a  timid little girl is bitten by a wicked scorpion or a naughty boy fell from the tree top and is speechless, the allopathy doctor is called immediately. Needless to add, the doctor has to accurately diagnose and then judiciously treat such cases so as to give a cure.

 

This is easier said than done. A junior doctor finds it extremely hard (especially if he has not concentrated on his Internship, but solved MCQs at that time) to manage emergencies for the simple fact that they are not taught so in their undergraduate time. The Indian MBBS undergraduate spends his time learning cases (mitral regurgitaion and Ca Stomach) which he is not going to treat alone

 

Compounding this problem is that Textbooks dealing with emergencies are few and the western books are grossly inadequate in this regard. Those books deal do not pay attention to common indian problems. Even for the few conditions covered there, the management schedule prescribed is for their conditions and can be hardly followed in our setup

 

The book Emergency Medicine written by Dr.SN Chugh and published by Peepee Publishers is a book tailor made for India and the book is divided into the 11 units and 95 Chapters. The units are

  1. Pulmonology

  2. Gastroenterology

  3. Infections

  4. Cardiology

  5. Neurology

  6. Hematology

  7. Endocrinology and Metabolism

  8. Nephrology

  9. Poisonings

  10. Internal medicine

  11. Acid Base and Electrolyte Disturbances

A chapter typically begins with a diagram than schematically depicts the various etiologies for that conditions. For example the chapter on Hemoptysis has a diagram that shows TB, Bronchogenic Carcinoma, Pulmonary Infarction, Mitral Stenosis, Acute Pulmonary Edema, Bronchectasis etc. Then the Related History, Signs and Investigations are dealth with in detail followed by the management

 

To give you a description about the structure of the individual chapter, let me take you to Chapter 36 of this book dealing with Acute Chest Pain and chapter 85 , dealing with Scorpion Sting

 

Chapter 36 begins with a diagram depicting all the probable causes of  Acute Chest Pain grouped under

  • Retrosternal

  • Interscapular

  • Right Lower Anterior Chest

  • Left Lower Anteriro Chest

  • Epigastric

  • Arms

  • Shoulder

Then we have the definitions and common causes and the associated symptoms of the various etiologies, which help one get to the diagnosis in a flash. This chapter is followed by chapters each dealing with the individual causes. The Flow Chart for Resuscitation of Cardio Pulmonary Arrest in striking

 

Chapter 85 begins with the image of the Indian Red Scorpion (Mesobuthus Tamulus). There is then a description about the epidemiology and the nature of the Venom. The book furnishes the information that the venom opens up the sodium channel. (So we give a drug that affects sodium channel - the local anaesthetics) The description is followed by the clinical features and then electrocardiographic manifestations, Investigations, Prehospital Management, Hospital Management and Prevention of Scorpion Sting. 

 

Highlights

Almost any emergency that a doctor can come across is dealt with detail and the Explanation of the Pathophysiology helps in better understanding of the conditions. If you have to work in Casualty / ICU or if you are at a peripheral hospital where you have to manage emergencies by your own, this is an ideal book for you. A book best suited to be kept in the doctor's table
