This book fills the need for a resource presenting important
diagnostic facts that clinicians should have learned during their
classroom lectures and subsequent clinical training, but often
didn't. The content will be literature-based information that can
help the clinician avoid diagnostic errors. Most other diagnosis
books on the market are either "physical diagnosis" texts targeting
student readers or "differential diagnosis" books intended for use
by practicing physicians, though both types of books aim to be
comprehensive. What sets this book apart from other diagnosis books
is that it is a curated collection of facts, tailored specifically
to address common gaps in clinical knowledge and describe
less-traveled pathways to important diagnostic destinations. This
book focuses on high-impact techniques. Essential Diagnostic Facts
Every Clinician Should Know contains: -Classical diagnostic pearls
clinicians should have learned in physical diagnosis courses. For
example, a patient with acute pericarditis may find that leaning
forward relieves the pain. -Red flag symptoms of serious disease.
For example, an infant that tastes salty when kissed might be the
first clue to a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. -Pathognomonic signs
allowing an occasional early diagnosis: For example, Koplik spots
in a febrile child are found only with measles. -Plastic pearls
exposed: For example, contrary to clinical lore, back pain at night
has not been found to be a useful indicator for serious spinal
pathology. -Counterintuitive clinical manifestations: For example,
the patient with gout may have a normal or even low serum uric acid
level during an acute attack. -Clinical manifestations that may
point to uncommon diagnoses: For example, nocturnal bone pain,
sometimes dramatically relieved by aspirin, characterizes osteoid
osteoma.
