Produktbeschreibung

The Neurologic Diagnosis: A Practical Bedside Approach is an introductory text that simplifies the often unwieldy method of making a neurologic diagnosis. Medical students are often intimidated by a deluge of data, extensive differential diagnoses, and have no organizational structure to follow. Diagnostic techniques of general medicine are not applicable. Neurology is a unique specialty since it requires the intermediary step of an anatomic diagnosis prior to proffering a differential diagnosis. Yet the required knowledge of neuroanatomy need not be profound for the student who will specialize in any field other than neurology and neurosurgery. This text is directed to medical students and residents who will all be regularly faced with numerous patients who have neurologic symptomatology. Typical one-month neurology rotations out of four years of medical school is clearly inadequate training to make a cogent neurologic diagnosis, especially since subsequent instruction is commonly provided by upper level residents who have the same background and numerous misconceptions. This is not a comprehensive text. The emphasis in this concise and practical title is on establishing a neuroanatomic diagnosis before formulating a differential diagnosis. In addition, treatment is seldom discussed since it is likely to change radically over time. Focused and succinct, The Neurologic Diagnosis: A Practical Bedside Approach is an invaluable resource for medical students and residents interested in the practice of neurological diagnosis.

Rezensionen

"This book has something for everyone. ... This book is a great addition to the armamentarium of resources that students, residents, and faculty interested in the nervous system should have." (Jennifer A. Sweet, Operative Neurosurgery, Vol. 86 (2), February, 2020)

"This truly remarkable book by a master clinician covers neurological diagnosis in detail. ... This book is a welcome addition for anyone really trying to learn how exactly neurology should be practiced. In a few decades, this approach may become more algorithmic or guideline based, but keep this book and come back to it from time to time to learn this approach." (R. Allan Purdy, Doody's Book Reviews, April 26, 2019)
