Tailored to be relevant to the real-life medical practice of interns, residents, and students, this handbook is designed to condense the most current information in internal medicine into one concise volume. The text is written so that upon receiving a consult, the user can simply turn to the relevant section and follow the text to learn what physical findings to look for, what questions to ask during the patient history, what labs to order and their interpretation, and the various treatment regimens and outcomes. Already "road-tested" at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Virginia Medical School and Hospital, The Internal Medicine Peripheral Brain has already garnered praise for its straightforward approach to clinical practice and the breadth of its information.
