Description
Life would be much simpler for GPs if patients presented with diagnoses. Unfortunately, they do not: they present with symptoms, which are frequently vague, sometimes multiple and occasionally obscure. It is up to the GP to create some order from this chaos. However, the vast majority of clinical texts adopt a diagnosis, rather than symptom-based, approach. From the Introduction Across its five editions, Symptom Sorter has redressed this balance, becoming the essential reference book in primary care. Presenting a multitude of the symptoms most commonly found in primary care, this latest, fully revised and greatly expanded edition features seven entirely new symptoms including coughs in both adults and children, visual disturbances, hand and wrist pain, thirst, loss of consciousness and abnormal movements, all explored through the red flags, top tips and ready reckoner format for sorting symptoms that has made previous editions so popular and respected. All general practitioners, especially GP trainers and registrars will find this book an invaluable reference. It is also highly recommended for Nurse Practioners and A&E nurses requiring a concise, easy-to-use guide.
