A must have [that] will surely come in handy, even if it saves just one patients life in the future.... Overall grade/score: 5/5. (Leicester Scrubs, January 2010) This is a valuable and well-edited collection of potentially serious speciality-specific symptoms. It is highly informative and should alert the reader to the 'alarm bells' that may present in their clinical practice. The book should prove a valuable asset to the library of anyone involved in the practice of medicine including medical students, GPs and hospital doctors.
