Product Description

Review
"I LOVE this book! I think it's one of the best books I own and it will be one of the three books that I'll squeeze into my luggage to take on my elective with me."
"It is broken down by significant signs or symptoms, such as dyspnoea and gives the differential diagnoses, divided into logical sections. It then explains how to take a history and investigate in order to narrow down the diagnosis."
"This book provides a fantastic basis for revision."
"It provides the absolute basics, and information on how to get started in investigating causes without getting bogged down in irrelevant details."
4th year Medical Student, Dundee University

Product Description
The information in this bestselling pocketbook will be invaluable in helping the student and junior doctor move from a presenting problem to formulating a diagnosis. The book covers 100 common presenting problems which occur in both medicine and surgery. Each problem is dealt with in a standard manner:
  • a brief definition of the problem
  • a reference table of possible diagnoses ordered by body system
  • a step-by-step guide to the history and examination of the patient with a view to making a final positive diagnosis
  • a list of general instructions which could be carried out, followed by appropriate specific investigations.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A diamond in the Rough, 17 Jun 2002
    This review is from: Churchill's Pocketbook of Differential Diagnosis (Hardcover)
    The majority of textbooks be it Oxford handbooks up to Haslett etc. focus on the medical condition and tell you all about it, hopefully. Unfortunately, the skill of the clinician is that of diagnosis of a patient from history and examination. Patients do not present with a condition, they present with signs and symptoms. Most texts, it can be said work backwards, whereas, finally, a book exists that works forwards, from symptom to clues with differentials, history and appropriate investigations.
    This book is superb and probably one of my most useful purchases if not the most useful. It is clear, concise yet reassuringly thorough and dependable. I cannot recommend this book enough.
    Its only let down is absence os sections on collapse, hypotension and photophobia and loss of conciousness. On the assessment unit, collapse is a common presenting complaint and a chapter on this would have been very useful, at least.
    Oh and yes, its a pretty cover design and colour too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Clear concise practical book that covers more than just differentials!, 30 Dec 2007
    By Ms. R. Parwaiz (Leicester) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This book is perfect if your in need to improve your problem solving skills as it not only gives you the differentials for a particular subject e.g. dysphagia but it also lists the positive factors you should be looking forward to in the history and examination. As is that wasnt enough, it also then states investigations that should be considered and what you should look for in the results!!

    It's a really easy to read book, that's tiny and easy to carry...I previously bought symptom sorter and wish I hadnt as this book is much better!!
