Differential Diagnosis (Churchill's Pocketbooks)

This is a pocketbook of information which helps the student and junior doctor move from a presenting problem to a diagnosis. The book will cover approximately 100 common presenting problems which occur in both medicine and surgery. Each problem is dealt with in a standard manner:
* a brief definition of the problem
* a reference table of possible diagnoses ordered by body system
* a step-by-step guide to the history and examination of the patient with a view to making a final positive diagnosis
* a list of general instructions which could be carried out, followed by appropriate specific investigations.
