4.0 out of 5 stars Handy little book
Verified PurchaseThis book is great at doing exactly what it says on the tin- you have a patient with a symptom, and you can find a list of differentials for it. Its is clear, well laid out, and easy to use. I would particularly recommend it for students when writing up clerkings or case presentations, i.e. situations where you have seen a patient, then will go away and write it up and have to think of differentials. I also used it for quick revision with a friend when we were on a ward waiting for a ward round, and found it a good way to pass the time; we would open it at a particular symptoms, then both try and think of as many differentials for it as we could before checking the suggestions that the book made. The lists of both symptoms and differentials obviously aren't exhaustive, but they are a very good starting point based on the wonderful medic logic of 'common things are common'.
However, I'm not sure how useful it would be higher up the food chain, as I suspect then books such as the Oxford Handbook for Foundation Programme, and Oxford Handbook of Clinical Diagnosis may be more useful when you have a sick patient sat in front of you. The Oxford handbooks contain a number of differentials, but what they also do is give suggestions in terms of investigations and management for those differentials.
