Description: Modern medicine
is highly complex and investigations are a key part of the diagnostic process.
With major advances in technology there are thousands of clinical and
laboratory tests available. This book provides a patient-oriented approach to
investigation (first part of book) where key symptoms and signs are described
along with tests that may be of value in reaching a diagnosis.
The remainder of
the book is specialty-centred and provides a comprehensive review of all
available tests within a given subject. The book emphasises which tests are of
value, when tests are not likely to be helpful, along with pitfalls in the
interpretation of results.
The aim is of
the book is to provide a more rational method of investigation and prevent
over-investigation which is expensive for the hospital and unpleasant for the
patient. The contributors are all active clinicians who are engaged in medical
practice, so appreciate the problems faced by junior doctors.
