A must read for anyone going into the clinical years of medical school, Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery, third edition, teaches students a logical step-by-step diagnostic approach to 29 common patient presentations. This hypothesis-driven approach mirrors that used by successful clinicians on the wards, challenging students with questions at each stage of a case (history-taking, examination, investigation, management).
By answering these questions, students understand how to critically analyze information and learn to apply their existing knowledge to a real-life scenario from start to finish. By starting with a symptom, mirroring real patient presentations, students learn to draw on their knowledge of different physiological systems - for example, cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology - at the same time.
All the major presenting symptoms in general medicine and surgery are covered, together with a broad range of pathologies. Updated throughout, this edition reflects contemporary investigations, clinical guidelines, scoring systems, and reference values. This book is an essential resource for all medicine students, and provides a well-rounded introduction to life on the wards.
Ideal for those starting out in clinical medicine and an ideal refresher for those revising for OSCEs and finals.
