Clearly formatted and easily accessible, the book: Fully integrates and emphasizes error avoidance and reduction Highlights uses and limitations of algorithmic and evidence-based medicine in medical decision-making Details effective strategies for looking and “re-looking” at biomedical data Explains essential do’s and don’ts of medicalpractice, from patient history and exam to differential diagnoses Describes best practices and pitfalls of gathering, processing, and communicating medical information Presents strategies for attending physicians to develop the critical thinking skills of their trainees Featuring real-world clinical examples, this concise, down-to-earth text is written to help both practitioners and students improve their overall clinical performance, and learn to communicate effectively with members of the caregiving team.
