This concise book is meant to serve as a quick reference to key clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic imaging information, provided in a bullet and outline format. It has less focus on pathophysiology and epidemiology and more emphasis on practical clinical information, and includes clinical algorithms and tables. The sections cover charting, laboratory evaluation, and formulary; differential diagnoses for common signs and symptoms; and specific diseases and disorders by body system. The last section has been revised for this edition. Online access to the full text and procedural videos is included. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) For nearly 25 years, Ferris concise, pocket-sized resource has served as the go-to reference for practical, clinical information among students, residents, and other medical professionals.

"This is a pocket-sized reference book of information that residents would need to have readily at their fingertips."-Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP(Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) Doody Review: 89/100

"For UK medical students and doctors, this handbook is informative and detailed but does often not reflect national guidance and established practice. It is therefore mainly useful for those planning an elective or clinical work in the USA or countries with a similar approach to health care". Reviewed by: Jacob F de Wolff, Northwick Park Hospital, Middlesex on behalf of British Journal of Hospital Medicine  Date: October 2014
