Practical Strategies in Pediatric Diagnosis and Therapy
Practical Strategies in Paediatric Diagnosis and Therapy uses a clinically oriented, 'symptom-based' approach to common paediatric ailments.

Step-by-step guidelines move through decision analysis, history taking and physical examination, and laboratory studies to diagnosis and therapy. Case examples support coverage.

Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Most medical textbooks are organized by diagnosis. In real life, one is confronted with signs and symptoms and has to arrive at a diagnosis based on the synthesis and analysis of history, exam, labs, and imaging. That's why this excellent book is so practical--it's organized the way one really does pediatrics. Don't get me wrong--Nelson and such are valuable references, but this book is more helpful in coming up with a diagnosis when presented with a symptom.
Good book of differential diagnosis for pediatricians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Good medical books featuring a symptom rather than a disease based approach are rare. Those books using this approach covering pediatrics even more so. Practical Strategies in Pediatric Diagnosis and Therapy does a good job in helping the pediatric registrar (or house officer) circle in on a diagnosis based on symptoms such as shortness of breath, anaemia or fever of unknown origin. I enjoy this book a lot. I don't quite understand why the publisher makes it so hard to find copies of it.
