Why yet another book on clinical diagnosis? The profusion ofmedical
text booksfor studentsand young postgraduates is known to all ofus,
and so also is the time-consuming and frequently frus- trating
search in these books for the relevant facts we need, so often sub-
merged in a mass of information which we do not really require. The
traditional textbook that most clinicians have used in their
training may well be written in the leisurely, discursive and
unstructured style much loved by our teachers of old, but perhaps
out of place in modern medical education where knowledge is so
rapidly expanding and time available for its assimi- lation rapidly
contracting. It iswith these considerationsinmindthat wefelt
itwould beusefulto pro- vide a clear, concise, easily readable and
well-illustrated book on the essen- tials of clinical diagnosis.
Each chapter deals with a medical problem commonly encountered in
dailyclinicalpracticeand beginswith alistofthepossiblecausesand
apracti- cal perspective of their prevalence in general practice
and in hospital prac- tice; the age distribution and the
clinicalsignificanceofthe various disorders is also pointed out.
The majorpartofthe chapter isconcernedwith thediag- nostic approach
to the particular problem and emphasizes the importance of
symptomsand signsin reachingthecorrectdiagnosis, as well asthe
value and limitation of the investigational approach to the
diagnosis. The book emphasizes the fundamental clinical skills
ofhistory-taking and clinicalexamination in diagnosis, so
frequently and mistakenlysubordinated to the investigational
approach which is often disappointing in the limited diagnostic
help which it does provide.
