Acute Medicine is a concise pocket reference of hospital medicine, written for registrars, junior doctors and medical students working on the wards.
From reviews:


"This new book by Dr O’Kane is a very useful and interesting
book directed towards Medical registrars but also with many positive features
for anyone from Medical Student to Consultants... [It] works
through groups of emergencies according to speciality and organ grouping. This
is helpful as it enables the reader to link the different differentials
together well. It also tries to signpost
all the different conditions in relation to the Acute Medicine and General
Internal Medicine curriculums.


There is also an excellent section on fluid prescription,
outlining what each fluid option contains along with potential fluid
prescriptions in relation to the daily needs of the human body. Each clinical
problem is presented in a clear and logical format, beginning with the things
to ask or think about when receiving a referral - much as junior doctors would
do in a real clinical situation.


The book also includes an excellent 'general management’
section, which covers important aspects of the assessment of mental capacity
and considerations to make when discharging a patient - things which are often
poorly taught in other settings. All of
the clinical procedures are described in some level of detail - not enough to learn to do the procedure but
enough to signpost as well as getting the reader to think about why it is
needed and any associated risks." - Journal for Acute Medicine, October 2015


"O'Kane's Acute Medicine 2015 is a fantastic text for any doctor regardless of their grade. However, it is of particular use to the junior hospital doctor. The book covers a huge array of pathology and knowledge in a succinct and accessible way with easy to use chapters with superb explanations throughout. I am currently working in A+E and have found this book invaluable. In particular the chapters covering procedures and the excellent formulary have helped me on several occasions. All of this is accentuated by the size of the book, which is genuinely pocket sized. This book is an essential text for all junior doctors." - A junior hospital doctor
