French's Index of Differential Diagnosis is an invaluable resource for the clinical undergraduate.
When a patient presents to a clinician, it is vitally important for that doctor to be able to differentiate quickly and correctly between the various diseases to which the presenting symptoms may be attributed.
French's Index of Differential Diagnosis is unparalleled in providing the clinician with invaluable assistance in this regard. Arranged alphabetically, and based upon presenting symptoms, this invaluable resource takes you through a step-by-step approach to that presentation, culminating in a description of the different diagnoses that it might represent. Where instrumental in aiding a correct diagnosis, full colour or black and white illustrations are included throughout.
It offers a succinct and well-illustrated aide-memoire that will be indispensable to trainee and established doctors in both general and hospital practice, and an invaluable resource for the clinical undergraduate. This latest update is based on the
14th edition with additional features, enhanced functionality and ongoing updates!
