Field Guide to Bedside Diagnosis (Field Guide Series)

By David S. Smith

Book Overview

This Field Guide enables medical students, residents, and practitioners to recognize subtle clinical differences observed at the bedside and to move from symptoms, physical findings, and history to a working diagnosis. The structure parallels the diagnostic reasoning process. Each chapter focuses on a symptom or physical finding and proceeds from a list of possible causes, to a diagnostic approach, to the key specific features of each disease in the differential. More than 200 full-color illustrations show diagnostically important observable signs.
