The 5-Minute Clinical Consult is a comprehensive, structured clinical resource that presents in bulleted fashion essential information about the diagnosis, treatment, medications, follow-up, and associated conditions of more than 600 medical conditions. With a new editor at the helm, this best-selling reference takes a more evidence-based approach.
Organized alphabetically, the book presents brief, bulleted points on disease topics in a consistent 3-column format. All topics are evidence-based and include cited evidence-based references. This edition has expanded drug therapy sections in each topic and more alternative medicine information. Revised, updated, evidence-based algorithms appear close to the relevant topics. A signs and symptoms index is also included.
A bound-in CD-ROM includes the full content of the book plus an image bank of more than 150 new full-color images.
