PROBLEM-BASED
MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT
SECOND EDITION
Medicine is an ever-changing science. Since this book was first
published in 2006, there have been major advances in many aspects
of medicine. In this second edition, medical cases, diagnostic
approaches and treatment modalities have been brought up to date,
in keeping with advances in medical science. Chapters on respiratory
medicine have been thoroughly revised and strengthened to reflect
the most current information in the field. New topics in medical case
management, such as emerging controversies in medical ethics and
issues of professional conduct are covered.
Problem-Based ~ Medical Case Management primarily provides a
compact and essential aid for medical students preparing for their
examinations in general medicine. Practising doctors will also find
this book useful in their day-to-day practice and when preparing for
case presentation.
“In this book the authors, all physicians with considerable knowledge
and experience, clearly describe a problem-based approach to the
management of common diseases. This has been expertly and success-
fully achieved. There are illustrative long and short cases preceded by
an overview of the relevant subspecialty; the questions being posed
and the pitfalls that are mentioned are very useful. The inclusion of
images and clinical laboratory results is an additional asset.”
