The Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics (Oxford Handbooks)

"As a paediatric SHO with little experience I expected this book to become a useful handbook similar to the Medicine one in adults (used it intensively from the day I started as an FY1). Sadly I was disappointed... the index is so poorly designed that to find something you need to either have read the book at least once before or work from the detailed contents in the front. Which makes the whole idea of quick access to information impossible at all. Just yesterday's example - you won't find 'ophthalmia neonatorum' but you will find 'ophthalmological opinion' directing you to genetic testing in cognitive impairment. Now, how is that helpful????
