Instant Work-ups: A Clinical Guide to Medicine E-Book e-bog

Pocket-sized and portable, Instant Work-ups: A Clinical Guide to Medicine offers all of the critical information physicians need to know in order to evaluate and diagnose a patient. The content is uniquely presented as a patient would present his or her case: with symptoms and abnormalities, as opposed to a diagnosis. Practical and easy to use, it provides clear work-up plans for the most commonly encountered medical conditions, providing quick, focused guidance with the flexibility to adapt to each unique patient. Covers approximately 80 of the most commonly encountered medical conditions. Chapters are alphabetically organized by topic for easy reference. Topics are presented as a sign, symptom, or abnormal lab reading as a patient would present his or her case. Every topic includes a brief background discussion, a list of important related materials, and a detailed list of the next lab or radiographic tests. Describes each diagnostic test and includes algorithms for each topic to help guide diagnosis.
