Overview

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, the text takes the reader 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. The fourteenth edition of French's Index of Differential Diagnosis 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 reference for the clinical undergraduate.

... this book has a long and distinguished pedigree but today's medic will be more persuaded by the quality of the book, rather than it's impressive publishing history. They will not be disappointed as this book is superb.Importantly and this is the strength of the book, is that emphasis is on the clinical aspects of patient care rather than technology.Best of all is that the text is amazing and skilfully comprehensive.Not only has this book got an impressive heritage, it has a good future. I would recommend it for a department, practice or personal library. -- MEDIX Website 20060120
