- Summary:
- This book provides a consistent, analytical approach practitioners use to reach a definitive diagnosis when resolving problems of their patients. The sections of each chapter answer three basic questions: What are the diagnostic possibilities? How can I diagnose each one? What is my approach to this problem? The structure of each chapter follows this logical sequence of the diagnostic process with the last section discussing the diagnostic approach to a definitive diagnosis. Plus -- an easy-to-use table of contents listing the signs and symptoms in alphabetical order.
