Book Description
A case-based book organized by the top 10 common
complaints of patients presenting to emergency departments. This
approach allows the reader to learn the pathophysiology of the major
diseases, and analyze each case in a way that more closely approximates
the clinical practice of medicine; not knowing which organ system is
damaged or compromised before examining the patient. The cases are based
on real patients and the diseases are either common in emergency
practice, or are dangerous diagnoses not to be missed. The case
descriptions include questions regarding the patient's presentation and
basic information about the disease, illustrating key elements from the
history, physical, and when necessary ancillary studies that help lead
to a diagnosis. Each chapter ends with a flow diagram showing how
diseases of different organ systems can present with similar initial
complaints. This book is an ideal resource for medical students,
residents and trainees in emergency medicine.
