An engaging case-based approach to learning the diagnostic process in internal medicine
Symptom to Diagnosis, Fourth Edition teaches an evidence-based, step-by-step process for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients based on their clinical complaints. By applying this process clinicians will be able to recognize specific diseases and prescribe the most effective therapy.
Each chapter is built around a common patient complaint that illustrates essential concepts and provides insight into the process by which the differential diagnosis is identified. As the case progresses, clinical reasoning is explained in detail. The differential diagnosis for that particular case is summarized in tables that highlight the clinical clues and important tests for the leading diagnostic hypothesis and alternative diagnostic hypotheses. As the chapter progresses, the pertinent diseases are reviewed. Just as in real life, the case unfolds in a stepwise fashion as tests are performed and diagnoses are confirmed or refuted.
Completely updated to reflect the latest research in clinical medicine, this fourth edition is enhanced by algorithms, summary tables, questions that direct evaluation, and an examination of recently developed diagnostic tools and guidelines. Clinical pearls are featured in every chapter. Coverage for each disease includes Textbook Presentation, Disease Highlights, Evidence-Based Diagnosis, and Treatment.

10/10 recommend getting yourself the physical copy of this textbook- you will NOT regret it. It’s free to access from my university for my MSNNP program, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy, as I think everyone needs a physical copy of this. Great for PA, NP’s, GP’s. Excellent! Thank you!!!! Also PS please get your Spotify podcast up and running again! It’s just as helpful as the book!
