Publisher's Synopsis
The 4th Edition of this popular clinical reference looks at illness the way it's faced in practice - by symptom, rather than by disease. Thus, it provides extremely direct access to essential diagnostic assistance. First, each chapter presents the probable causes for a given set of symptoms; then, it discusses the historical findings, physical findings, and the diagnostic studies that will lead to a definitive diagnosis - with a focus on the most efficient and economical imaging modalities and tests.
