Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The neonatal clinic is an enjoyable yet challenging experience for the beginners as well as the experts. The execution of a thorough assessment is easier in the setting of the Neonatal Unit environment where multiple players in the team are always there to plug any gaps you may have missed. Furthermore, the context of the clinic is totally different from the scene in NICU. The conditions presenting to the clinic may bear no relevance to the usual medical problems encountered while the newborn is still in the hospital. Furthermore, many neonatal conditions come to light only after discharge, while others require different approach as the acute condition’s ramifications are endless. The parents are usually well prepared to explore all the aspects of the presenting condition. They expect to leave the clinic with satisfactory explanations and amicable solutions. Small issues may cause them great anxiety if the clinician is not able to reassure them factually, confidently, and honestly. They do not expect or imagine the condition may also be new to the clinician. Systemic approach always pays dividends. A thorough history is the key to unlock most issues. This requires a good listener, sound background knowledge and experience to extract the relevant facts during the short time slot available in the clinic. The assessment is always deficient if the examination is hurried and limited to a targeted system. Head to toe, front and back examinations are mandatory. Tailored investigation, if necessary, complete the picture. This book “HADI NEONATAL CLINIC COMPANION”, is intended to help the trainees in Neonatology as well as the well-established Neonatologist to gather their thoughts during the neonatal clinic. I have tried to spell out the steps required to tackle many presentations. I have left out some follow up issues of major challenges stemming from NICU like Chronic Lung Disease, Neonatal Fits, Post Haemorrhagic Hydrocephalus, and NEC. I may add these to next edition if I find a suitable formula to present the follow up requirements. Most problem-solving frames within this book, reflects my own approach which may be different to other Neonatologist’s approaches.
