100 Cases in Clinical Medicine
100 Cases in Clinical Medicine presents 100 scenarios commonly seen by medical students and junior doctors in the emergency or outpatient department, on the ward or in the community setting. Each case begins with a succinct summary of the patient’s history, examination and initial investigation. The text includes photographs where relevant and questions on the diagnosis and management of each case. The answers provide a detailed discussion on each topic, with further illustration where appropriate. Most of the cases included are common problems, but the book also includes more unusual cases to illustrate specific points and to emphasise that rare things do present occasionally and to prepare the student or trainee for these. The cases are arranged within clinical systems and specialties, though of course there may be significant overlap between these since symptoms such as breathlessness and pain may relate to many different clinical problems in various systems.
