'Medical technology is beneficial for well researched dangerous
diseases. However, most symptoms that people bring to their primary
care physician have no single clearly identifiable cause:
investigations and drugs do more harm than good - and also waste
resources - ' - Wilfrid Treasure Diagnosis and Risk Management in
Primary Care teaches that adopting an evidence-based approach to
primary care improves patient care and treatment outcomes. It
demonstrates that brief clinical assessments, repeated if
necessary, allow effective diagnosis while avoiding the costs and
complications associated with more advanced testing. Adopting a
fresh approach, this book sets consultation skills alongside
evidence-based information by both itemising the specific
techniques and facts that are needed in the consulting room, and
providing detailed information on odds and likelihood ratios to
quantify risk and deal with uncertainty. This book provides food
for thought, and helps doctors develop communication skills that
support their personal styles of consulting, encouraging a more
traditional, intuitive treatment. It provides a map of the
consultation and a compass to navigate through symptoms, signs and
evidence - listening to their patients with one ear and, with the
other, to the reflective inner voice of reason. General
Practitioner Specialist Trainees and their teachers will find much
of interest, as will established General Practitioners with an
interest in maintaining traditional models of care. Undergraduate
medical students and candidates for the MRCGP will find this an
ideal reader for the clinical skills assessment. 'What a breath of
fresh air to find an author capable of putting the patient back at
the centre of the consultation and who is able to entertain at the
same time as he informs and to stimulate critical reflection while
nudging us in the direction of a rigorous approach to diagnosis,
and the assessment and communication of risk.' From the foreword by
Roger Jones
