About this title

Review:

"I LOVE this book! I think it's one of the best books I own and it will be one of the three books that I'll squeeze into my luggage to take on my elective with me." "It is broken down by significant signs or symptoms, such as dyspnoea and gives the differential diagnoses, divided into logical sections. It then explains how to take a history and investigate in order to narrow down the diagnosis." "This book provides a fantastic basis for revision." "It provides the absolute basics, and information on how to get started in investigating causes without getting bogged down in irrelevant details." 4th year Medical Student, Dundee University "I LOVE this book!

From the Author:

This book is a standard approach to clinical problems.
Although this little book has been written for the medical student to illustrate a standard diagnostic approach to a variety of clinical presentations. It is also a suitable reference on how to approach essay questions for final examinations. GP's and casualty officers may also find this publication helpful when encountering a number of different clinical scenarios.
