Macleod's Clinical Diagnosis demonstrates how to apply the core
clinical skills learned from the companion textbook Macleod's
Clinical Examination to maximum advantage. Charting the course from
routine work-up to diagnosis, this book presents a modern and
realistic approach to clinical assessment and explains how to
integrate information obtained from the history, examination,
bedside tests and specialised investigations. The first section
Principles of clinical assessment examines different approaches to
diagnosis, reviews the fundamental elements necessary for accurate
patient assessment, provides a helpful template for a 'routine
workup' and describes how to adapt the assessment to fit the
clinical context. The second core section of the book Assessment of
common presenting problems contains a series of 'diagnostic guides'
that lead the reader, step-by-step through the major presenting
problems in medicine and surgery, explaining how to recognise red
flag features, eliminate life-threatening conditons and generate a
logical differential diagnosis. This book has been praised as an
invaluable resource for senior medical students and junior doctors
as they attempt to make the difficult transition from mastering
basic clinical skills to assessing patients in the real world of
clinical medicine. A unique book allowing a reader to apply the
skills of clinical examination in the formulation of a differential
diagnosis and placing a patient's symptoms in context. Takes a
problem-based approach to diagnostic reasoning, reflecting both
modern medical and current educational practices. Builds on the
clinical skills outlined in the companion Macleod's Clinical
Examination textbook. For this Second Edition the text has been
expanded with five new topics covering nausea and vomiting; vaginal
bleeding; red eye; urinary incontinence; and weight loss.
