Dr Stephenson, King's College School of Medicine, and member of The Richard Asher Prize judging panel Each chapter focuses on a common presenting symptom (e.g. chest pain), rather than a physiological system (e.g. cardiology). By starting with a symptom, as doctors do in reality, students learn to draw on their knowledge of different physiological systems - for example, cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology - at the same time.This book's uniqueness - and its educational value - stems from the way that the authors have approached the learning aspect from direct clinical symptoms, highlighting the most important differential diagnoses but also explaining how to differentiate them. This approach represents the book's real strength, mirroring as it does the integrated systems-based approach that is commonly used by many medical schools. In my experience as a clinical teacher, course organiser, and examiner over the past decade, this is the first book that has attempted to bring together, and explain from a basic science concept, the reasons for the clinical picture or condition... An excellent book written with a refreshing clinical approach that provides the reader with the important key facts.
