"This is a helpful guide on evidence-based clinical reasoning in early patientcontact for medical students. It is a first edition book published in theUnited Kingdom.Eleven chapters present discussions on clinical reasoning, diagnostic strategy,the history and examination, spot diagnosis and pattern recognition, red andyellow flags, restricted rule-outs, probabilistic reasoning, test of time, testof treatment, and various case studies. Full-color photographs are wellpresented. The case study chapters impart a classical Socratic method ofteaching with questions that lead readers to diagnoses through various concepts(e.g., red and yellow flags). There are some references included, but this isappropriate as the book's objective is to teach students how to approachpatients rather than present a study of specific conditions.As an introductory text for medical students early on their journey intomedicine, this is a practical text.
