The new 2nd edition includes 100 brand new cases covering the diagnosis and management of interesting and
challenging problems in
general internal medicine. Each patient's case is followed by the physical examination and initial diagnostic
impression which prompts the reader to derive his/her own preliminary diagnosis and plan for treatment . Laboratory findings are then given along with a detailed discussion of how the patient was diagnosed and the follow-up results. At the end of each case, valuable clinical pearls (major points) are provided.
This book is the grand daddy of the clinical vignettes series. Try to grab a copy for it's cases. Useful for both USMLE Steps 2 & 3. You need to commit time to finish the book.
