The 5-minute Sports Medicine Consult
Editor: Mark Bracker
Sports medicine is now a speciality in its own right and in these modern times, GPs should be expected to be consulted about sport medicine issues. So it is incumbent on us to know more or know how to access more information. This book will amply satisfy that thirst for more knowledge in this field. It is ideal for the primary care physician caring for either an individual or a group such as a team.
Using the two-page layout that has become a feature of the 5-minute series, headings containing the basic information in either note or list format are widely used. So this text facilitates rapid reading around a subject without having to wade through masses of unhelpful detail. Impressively there is a huge amount of topics and subject matter covered. There are the expected topics such as hamstring injuries (the best description I have ever read) but less expected subjects such as constipation and warts. Rehabilitation exercises are covered and of course there is extensive coverage of musculoskeletal topics.
This book is ideal for GPs and other practitioners providing some form of care to sportsmen. For others this is an interesting reference book but a good one.
