Herewe offer anew approach to understanding and managing common
medical conditions. With the needs of our readers in mind we
present clearer, more extensive and more expansive views on them.
Traditional medical textbooks are wordy tomes with well worn
patterns dealing in set order with 'causes, symptoms and signs,
diagnosis and treatment'. They offer formal instant snapshots of
diseases. We have devised an economic synoptic style, and we have
endeavoured to give acomprehensive and an on-going long term
movepicture ofeach condition and to relate this to the
analysisofsymptoms and signs, to diagnostic assessment and to
management and treatment. We have selected 22 important conditions
and for eachhave followed the same sequence of questions and
answers: * What is it? giving a brief summary of the current
understanding of the nature of the condition. * Who gets it when?
showing the age-sex distributions and influence ofother factors
such as social class, international comparisons,
andtheirlikelyfrequency ingeneralpractice and at the district
general hospital. * What happens? analysing the significance of
symptoms and signs, the likely course and outcome and how these
influence care. * What to do? an appreciation of the nature and
presentation of the condition, and their relevance to diagnosis and
management.
