| Summary |
This book is the second in the series of books, which deals simultaneously with examination techniques pathophysiological principles, differential diagnosis, and clinical interpretation, along with applied medicine about common pulmonary diseases. A medical student or a postgraduate doctorstudying for higher exam will learn to take a good history, examine the patient, and find relevant applied medical knowledge, which is needed for assessment of the patient. It should also serve as an invaluable collection of facts to get through undergraduate or postgraduate examination. This book attempts to answer pertinent questions such as how? and why? about clinical examination while providing relevant information needed for a thorough bedside assessment. The book intends to fill this gap and inspires the reader to gain confidence to make a correct diagnosis exclude relevant differential diagnosis, localize the disease and determineits cause. |
