Description - Symptom Sorter by Keith Hopcroft
'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 excelled in redressing the balance between symptoms and diagnoses to become the essential reference book in primary care. Presenting a multitude of symptoms commonly encountered in primary care, this fully revised and greatly expanded edition features brand new chapters on visual disturbances, hand and wrist pain and abnormal movements. In addition, the text also features carefully revised chapters on thirst, loss of consciousness and coughs in both adults and children. These are meticulously explored using the red flags, top tips and ready reckoner format for sorting symptoms that have made previous editions so popular and respected.
An invaluable reference for all general practitioners, especially GP trainers and registrars, this new edition of Symptom Sorter is also highly recommended for Nurse Practitioners and A&E nurses requiring a concise, easy-to-use guide.
