Clinical Cases
It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of āreal-life medicineā. Clinical Cases is an innovative book of cases that shows how a particular presentation may progress, and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time, which may be missed by the āsnapshot in timeā approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital, during 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.
Clinical Cases demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect, in whichever simple or complex way they may present. Cases are selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum. It illustrates the complicated, progressive problems that will be seen while practising as a doctor, with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding.
The book shows, with timepoints, how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise. It also describes a typical initial hospital stay, along with subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission.
