Symptom
to Diagnosis: An Evidence-Based Guide, 3rd edition via the Skelton Medical Libraries
 |
Each chapter in this book addresses one common complaint and begins
with a case and guidance on how to organize the differential diagnosis. As the
case progresses, clinical reasoning is explained in detail. The differential
diagnosis for that particular case is summarized in tables that highlight the
clinical clues and important tests for the leading diagnostic hypothesis and
alternative diagnostic hypotheses. As the chapter progresses, the pertinent
diseases are reviewed. Just as in real life, the case unfolds in a stepwise
fashion as tests are performed and diagnoses are confirmed or refuted. |
