Essentials for practice of medicine in the frontline is an abridged synthesis of selected topics from family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, pathology, and psychiatry; also, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, hematology, and dermatology. Each section covers ten salient and commonly-encountered areas of practice by physicians. Multiple-choice questions and answers accompany each Section. The setting of writing is a developing country. The contents are relevant to doctors who practice in the medically advanced countries and those in the developing countries. Medically, the world has become an interesting place. Air travel, frequent movement, and resettlement of people now mean that doctors in developed countries can no longer stay and practice within the clinical conditions that were typical in their practice settings. Things have changed, as they cannot be certain of what medical conditions that patients from various parts of the world will present to them. Doctors also cannot be unequivocal that an emergency in a distant part of the globe may not require their attention. This book therefore meets the needs of doctors, irrespective of their length of practice or where they practice. What applies to doctors certainly applies to medical students. This book is an atypical book as it puts in its two volumes of less than 500 pages of 8.5”x 11” per volume material that any doctor, anywhere, should keep on their office or consulting room bookshelf. The e-book version is also a veritable companion.

While humanity has been greatly blessed, there are times when we act as if we are entirely ruled by impulse. We fall short in the discretion of gravity of the bond between the self and the worldly entities. Though being primarily cognitive organisms, in times of panic, dread, and anxiety—such as the COVID-19 pandemic—we become irrational and function only according to instinct. Musing on these events inspired author Cannio Cardozo to record his thoughts and reflections on humankind’s recent actions. All I Have Is I presents an introspection of life, filled with striking examples from daily life, relevant parables, and summarizing poems at the end of each chapter. Part 1 deals with “I” in relation to worldly entities and the power of self-worth, while part 2 considers the obsession one has with the self, which results in the breakdown of relationships due to arrogance. When all is said and done, divine intervention plays a vital role in the transformation of the individual. “It is a book worth reading and reflecting upon because of its investigation and exploration of the world that is wrapped within each self.” — Rev. Dr. Pius James D’Souza, OCD, provincial superior “This work contains a beautiful insightful perception of the ‘self’ commonly perceived as the ‘I’ and its multifarious interaction with worldly entities.” — Rev. Jerald D’Souza, OCD, provincial delegate
