Leicester Scrubs, January 2010)
"This is a valuable and well-edited collection of potentially serious speciality-specific symptoms. It is highly informative and should alert the reader to the 'alarm bells' that may present in their clinical practice. The book should prove a valuable asset to the library of anyone involved in the practice of medicine including medical students, GPs and hospital doctors."
