Written by experienced Australian medical practitioners and academics and following the core curriculum in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, this second edition contains 50 real cases inspired by real life patient presentations, including ten brand new cases. Aimed at the busy junior doctor or general practitioner, each case takes a methodical problem-based learning approach, simulating a patient consultation and questioning the reader as they go along to encourage critical thinking and test their clinical decision making. In addition to the purely clinical aspects of the cases, emotional, social and psychological aspects of the care of each woman is described, encouraging professionals to take a whole woman approach to both diagnosis and treatment.
Whether you own one or are close with someone who does, it's pretty easy to recognize the importance of the penis. But in fact there is next to no reliable information on nearly every man's and many women's favorite little friend. Now, in Dick, two women doctors boldly provide readers with a much-needed handbook that guides, educates, and dispels all the common misconceptions about the penis. In open and direct language interspersed with humorous word play and funny anecdotes, Drs. Michele Moore and Caroline de Costa thoroughly describe the anatomy, functions, proper hygiene, safety, and effective handling of the most friendly male appendage. Other key topics include: size (does it matter?), condoms, sex, premature ejaculation, as well as infections, infertility, injuries, and cancer. Written for both men and women, young and old, Dick promises to teach, entertain, and demystify for the benefit of everyone involved. Including real-life stories taken from the authors' own medical practices, Dick offers a comprehensive, practical, and entertaining guide to the penis—and all its ups and downs.
* Do you know everything you need to about the 'family jewels'? How does it all work and what do you do when it doesn't? Although we might be quick with jokes, the penis remains a bit of a mystery - the last taboo. Dick is your guide to everything you've ever wanted to know (but were too embarrassed to ask) about that most friendly male appendage, the penis. The authors explain everything from how it hangs to how to keep it healthy and happy. They tell us what can go wrong - from sexually transmitted diseases, to infertility, premature ejaculation, impotence, and cancer - and give us the most up-to-date advice on how to avoid and deal with these nasties. Funny, frisky and fresh, Dick offers serious health information for anyone with a penis and for the people who love them.
