When a plethoric clinic patients nods off during the history; it's sleep apnea until proven otherwise; if the historian does, it's a post-call resident.

これはsleep apneaのPearl(診療のコツ)に書いてあった。

「多血症の患者が病歴聴取中に居眠りしたら原因は睡眠時無呼吸だと考えなさい。
もし、病歴を聴取している人が居眠りしたら、それは当直あけのレジデントだ。」
こういうジョークが好きな人にはお勧めの本だと思う。

エビデンス中毒の人には向かないと思います。

Very good for a quick reference point in determining a quick diagnosis, but does not provide a thorough overview of treatment protcols, such as specific drugs and dosing. I often find myself having to use another resource to find this info. Overall a starting point for a generalized overview of disorders, works well to prepare for exams.
