Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive text helps physicians to accurately and efficiently diagnose common complaints . A clinical approach is emphasized to diagnosis rather than one which relies largely on diagnostic studies. Each of the 34 chapters deals with a different common complaint, accounting for more than 80% of the complaints with which physicians are confronted. The 2nd Edition offers revised chapters and references as well as three new chapters: Breast Lumps, Swelling of Legs, and Urination Problems. Includes a concise summary table located at the end of each chapter and an index that lists all complaints, symptoms, and diagnoses mentioned in the text. Useful to both physicians and students as a reference tool.
