It would also serve as a helpful aide memoir for doctors dealing with a patient presenting with a problem outside their speciality. - British Journal of Hospital Medicine "The idea is brilliant — take symptoms, signs, and examination findings, and suggest the most likely diagnosis. Then discuss how best to confirm it...once again OUP have come up trumps with another fine addition to the handbook family." - Dr Jeremy Sagar, Univadis "Whether you use its easy layout and concise size as a quick reference on wards or as a key text on those differential diagnosis questions in your private study, this book aims to help you come to terms with one of the hardest skills known to medical students." - Steve Knight, Year 4 Intercalating Student, Leicesterscrubs.com "...not only does this book provide clearly headed pages of presenting complaints together with lists of their possible differentials - its layout is specifically designed in such a way to make you consistently mimic that used by clinicians on wards everyday...The usefulness of this book to your clinical years, combined with your OHCM, shouldn't be underestimated" - Steve Knight, Fourth Year Intercalating student, Leicesterscrubs.com "a beneficial addition to any medical ward either at the nurses' station or in the doctors' office...would recommend this book for consultation at ward level." - AS Fitzpatrick, Marchall Riley CONTENTS 1: The diagnostic process 2: Interpreting the history and examination 3: General and endocrine symptoms and physical signs 4: Skin symptoms and physical signs 5: Cardiovascular symptoms and physical signs 6: Respiratory symptoms and physical signs 7: Gastrointestinal symptoms and physical signs 8: Urological and gynaecological symptoms and physical signs 9: Joint, limb, and back symptoms and physical signs 10: Psychiatric and neurological symptoms and physical signs 11: Laboratory tests 12: Chest x-rays 13: Making the diagnostic process evidence-based

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
