Summary: It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of 'real-life medicine'. This innovative book of cases shows how a particular presentation may progress, and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time, which may be missed by the 'snapshot in time' approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital, in which their situation can change in a multitude of ways, and the management of chronic conditions may also need to be adapted as complications arise. Demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect, in whichever simple or complex way that they may present. Cases selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum. Illustrates the complicated, progressive problems that will be seen while practicing as a doctor with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding. Shows, with timepoints, how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise. Describes a typical initial hospital stay, and subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission.
