Description
Book SynopsisReaching a provisional diagnosis is the most difficult part of any General Practitioner (GP) consultation. The subsequent formulation of a management plan is often straightforward. This book focuses entirely on formulating likely diagnoses rather than the investigation or management of them.
Trade Review"I liked the layout as it is easy on the eye and simple to find what you are looking for if you are searching for a particular symptom. The index is searchable by symptom and by disease" (Royal College of General Practitioners, 1 May 2011)
“This is a highly useful book to keep readily available in the outpatient office as a memory aid when confronted with a less-than-textbook presentation of symptoms.” (Doody’s , August 2009)
