This is an original and successful text which provides a series of tutorials in the problem-based approach to clinical medicine, as against the more common disease-based emphasis of most textbooks. It covers a full range of signs and symptoms as they are encountered in clinical practice and discusses them with the emphasis on those which are crucial in the differential diagnosis of the patient. Each chapter ends with an illustrated case history. Diagnostic algorithms help to summarise many of the cases and give an overview of the diagnostic pathway that has been set out in the text. • A highly regarded and popular book • Presents medicine as it is encountered both in learning and in practice • Covers the commonest problems encountered • Mirrors the teaching being done in medical schools • Suitable for postgraduates as well as students. • Two new authors join two of the existing authors • Four new chapters are included on: • Chronic fatigue • Haematuria • Stroke • Movement disorders • More diagnostic algorithms have been included. • All chapters thoroughly revised. • Complete new design to the book to give it a more modern appearance. • A second colour introduced.
