Customer Reviews

Good for NP students too

I wanted a book for clinicals (and class) to help with determining differential diagnosis. This book (referring to 2nd Ed.) gives the practitioner questions to ask the patient (and yourself while thinking about diff. dx.) as well as possible diagnostic tests to order.Plenty of room for your own notes as well.I find it useful and worth buying. Small enough for bookbag or clinical bag.

Great reference

This book, along with Algorithmic Approach to Treatment, are great reference books for the medical student. It is definitely going to be on my office shelf.
