Combined with the vital attributes of listening and caring, using the knowledge and support this book provides will help us all become more effective doctors." -Professor David Haslam , CBE, FRCP, FFPH, FRCGP, Past President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, London, UK
I suspect it has less value as an immediate reference in the blood and thunder of a tricky consultation, but medical students and GP trainees will appreciate its cut-down simplicity(Casebook, 1 May 2011) This excellent book will appeal not only to its intended target audience but also to experienced health professionals who have to assess patients swiftly.
