This is an original and successful text which provides a series of tutorials in the problem-based approach to clinical medicine, as against the more common disease-based emphasis of most textbooks. It covers a full range of signs and symptoms as they are encountered in clinical practice and discusses them with the emphasis on those which are crucial in the differential diagnosis of the patient. Each chapter ends with an illustrated case history. Diagnostic algorithms help to summarise many of the cases and give an overview of the diagnostic pathway that has been set out in the text.

The Textbook of Medicine provides a comprehensive account of clinical medicine incorporating the language and ideas of modern medical science. The book discusses clinical medicine in the context of the growth in our understanding of the mechanisms of disease. The book is pitched at the level of the junior doctor in training while at the same time it will appeal to all medical students who desire more than a fairly synoptic account of clinical medicine as found in books like Clinical Medicine and Davidson's Principles & Practice of Medicine. The necessity to keep fully up-to-date applies to trainee and practising physicians who are all required to maintain a satisfactory knowledge of all areas of general medicine. This book provides the level of information that this market requires.The website (new for this edition) includes additional materials - MCQs, illustrations and case studies - that are not in the book.
