Essential Medical Facts presents selected literature-based
information clinicians need to know to provide informed patient
care and avoid medical misadventures. Facts that can help make us
better and safer clinicians include knowing the usefulness of
palmar crease pallor in detecting anemia (not reliable),
antibiotics that can cause a false positive opiate urine drug
screen (fluoroquinolones), and an occasional early clue to
testicular cancer (gynecomastia). Of course, keeping up to date on
current medical knowledge and being curious about the implications
of published research conclusions not only help assure superior
clinical performance; they also bolster the preparation for board
examinations. Robert B. Taylor, MD is the author and editor of more
than two dozen medical books and several hundred published
articles, as well a veteran of both rural private practice and
chairmanship of a medical school clinical department. Essential
Medical Facts is written for clinicians in all specialties, at all
stages of professional life. It is a "must have" book for students,
residents and practicing physicians, as well as nurse practitioners
and physician assistants actively involved in clinical diagnosis
and management of disease.
