About this title

Synopsis

Clinical Problems in Medicine and Surgery provides a comprehensive selection of important medical and surgical scenarios. The reader is taken through 66 case histories step by step and is asked to interpret a broad range of medical data. Most of the clinical problems are accompanied by illustrations, which include cardiographs, radiographs, clinical and pathological photographs. In addition to detailed questions and answers, a commentary is provided that highlights the important issues of each case, as well as a guide to further topics of study.

• Addresses important medical and surgical topics from a problem-oriented approach.
  
• Presents relevant clinical illustrations for each case, such as ECGs, radiographs, and clinical and pathologi-cal photographs.
  
• Emphasizes empathy with the patient's situation as well as effective patient counseling.
