Symptom Sorter, Second Edition

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. Most clinical texts adopt a diagnosis rather than a symptom based approach. Symptom Sorter redressed the balance and quickly became a key book in primary care. This new edition is fully updated and expanded. New symptoms include double vision and epigastric pain, and infertility is also covered. It presents differentials, distinguishing features, possible investigations and key points, with Top Tips and Red Flag warnings, for over 100 symptoms commonly seen in primary care. All general practitioners, especially GP trainers, GP registrars, young principals and nurse practitioners will find this book invaluable reading.
