Reihe: 100 Cases

100 Cases in Clinical Medicine presents 100 scenarios commonly seen by medical students and junior doctors in the emergency or outpatient department, on the ward, or in the community setting. Each case begins with a succinct summary of the patient's history, examination, and initial investigation. The text includes photographs where relevant and questions on the diagnosis and management of each case. The answers provide a detailed discussion on each topic, with further illustration where appropriate. Most of the cases included are common problems but the book also includes more unusual cases to illustrate specific points and to emphasize that rare things do present occasionally and to prepare the student or trainee for these. The first 20 cases are arranged by systems; the next 80 are in random order because symptoms such as breathlessness and pain may relate to many different clinical problems in various systems.

Key Features –

- Succinct case studies presented in an easy-to-read format, listing patient history, examination and investigations

- Questions at the end of each case prompt readers to consider their options for diagnosis, investigation and management

- Answer pages then guide readers through the clinician's sequence of thoughts and actions

- Illustrations, information boxes and key points summaries reinforce learning, ideal during exam revision

- A broad range of common conditions is covered, from chest pain to weight gain, together with more unusual presentations

Making speedy and appropriate clinical decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take as a result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of training to be a doctor. These true-to-life cases will teach students and junior doctors to recognize important clinical symptoms and signs and to develop the diagnostic and management skills needed for the cases they will encounter on the job.
