Synopsis

General practice has come of age, gone are those days when the inadequately trained and minimally skill-equipped generalist see patients with enormous challenges, but today's general practitioner receive extensive information to deliver standard and comprehensive primary care. Few percentages of general practitioners are appropriately educated and fully prepared to conf ront neurosurgical patients especially at a time when patients are becoming better educated about state-of -the- art treatment, recent breakthrough in neurosciences and available options of treatment. Unfortunately, neurosurgery patients have been regarded as one of the most difficult and complex cases to deal with. The under-development of neurosurgery in the community for common cases like mild head injury, uncomplicated shunted patients and selected degenerative spine diseases follow up has further reduced the interest in neurological condition in General Practice. The goal of this book is to demystify basic neurosurgery without sacrificing excellence and to offer frontline doctors some insight into my didactic approach to neurosurgical patients from first and basic principles. Furthermore, this book is equally useful and appropriate for students and doctors with little or no neurosurgical knowledge. I strongly recommend this book with sincere enthusiasm to all general practitioners in practice and those in training. Demystifying Neurosurgery in General Practice: End of Neurophobia
