SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"As the title indicates, this book is meant to be a comprehensive clinical resource. It is intentionally designed to fit in a lab coat pocket so it may be carried at all times as a ready reference. The chapters follow a standard outline or template, so that the reader can easily focus on the desired subject matter. Most chapters include key features, a brief discussion or overview, a section on epidemiology followed by symptoms, signs, differential diagnosis, physical exam, imaging, labs, treatment options, and outcome and follow-up. The extensive index has been thoughtfully planned to allow for quick and easy reference. Our goal is to provide the busy practicing clinician, fellow, or house officer with a resource that will enable him or her to gather information that will help with day-to-day, real-time patient care.
