Book Description

As a family physician in the town of Bedford, you see a lot of interesting clinical cases, especially among the influential Savoy and Sampson families. When Nick Sampson disappears and a body turns up with connections to Nick, you are drawn into the case. As you are challenged to use an evidence-based approach in managing the wide variety of clinical cases you encounter in Bedford, the cases in turn provide evidence for solving the murder mystery. At once a thrilling, interactive mystery novel and a wonderful guide for incorporating evidence-based medicine into practice, The Bedford Murder is unlike any book you will ever read.
  • Employs a truly unique approach: an actual murder mystery that is also a clinical text on evidence-based clinical practice
  • The physician-detective, who is also, essentially, the reader, is presented with an ongoing stream of patient visits exhibiting a wide range of common medical problems and disorders requiring diagnosis and treatment
  • Each clinical encounter is followed by a number of clinical questions that arise from it
  • The text is evidence-based and designed around EBM principles
  • The book has been accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada for MAINPRO-C credits in Canada.
  • An attractive 2-color design highlights key areas in coverage
  • Great reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very unique book., February 9, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bedford Murder: An Evidence-Based Clinical Mystery, 1e (Paperback)
This is one of the most unique books in the medical text market I have ever read. This book is more than a QUICK primer on evidence based medicine, it is also a fun novel about a murder and you are the sleuth who has to figure out "who-dun-it". The only problem with the book, and it is really very minor, is that the CME credit that you can get by completing the paperwork at the end are for canadian MD's only. It would be nice to be able to receive US CME creedit. This should not turn anyone away from the book however. It is well written and easy to understand with an appendix and glossary explaining the statistics and math used in evidence based medicine along with the terminology too. So if you want a fun book that will introduce you to application of evidence based medicine to your practice then this book is for you. Think of it as a bitter pill that is very nicely sugar coated that all practicing physicians should swallow. I would also highly recommed this book to any first or second year medical statistics course instructors and students.
