MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

Case-based learning is a fundamental part of teaching at medical school because it links theory to practice. Case-Based Discussions in Medicine is designed to help prepare students for clinical practice by working through authentic cases. This updated edition has been revised to reflect recent changes in guidelines.

All cases are presented in a consistent style, and cover:

history of presenting complaint
examination and interpretation
differential diagnoses
investigations
diagnosis and management

Each case concludes with background information covering the pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and clinical guidelines.

The book is a study companion for medical students and foundation doctors and will help you:

become proficient at writing up a patient's history and examination findings
improve your clinical decision-making and patient management
build your clinical knowledge

From back pain and breathlessness to post-partum psychosis, via abdominal pain and jaundice, placenta praevia, and alcoholic liver disease, the book guides you through common cases in medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry.
