Synopsis

It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of ‘real-life medicine’. This innovative book of cases shows how a particular presentation may progress, and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time, which may be missed by the ‘snapshot in time' approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital, in which their situation can change in a multitude of ways, and the management of chronic conditions may also need to be adapted as complications arise.

• Demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect, in whichever simple or complex way that they may present
• Cases selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum
• Illustrates the complicated, progressive problems that will be seen while practicing as a doctor with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding
• Shows, with timepoints, how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise
• Describes a typical initial hospital stay, and subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission
