“This excellent monograph addresses two very common and distressing symptoms encountered in the daily practice of medicine in a series of independent articles that review different aspects of these symptoms. … This is an outstanding, comprehensive monograph that has extraordinary utility for busy clinicians in developing a differential diagnosis working through the diagnosis by choosing the most efficient ancillary testing modalities and ameliorating the symptoms as quickly as possible.” (Vincent Carr, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
