Taylor's 10-Minute Diagnosis Manual
The 10-Minute Diagnosis Manual is intended to be a quick-reference source for the primary care clinician faced with a diagnostic problem such as headache, fatigue, anemia, or jaundice. The book is structured in the same way in which we arrive at a diagnosis, starting not with a disease label, but with a chief complaint or, perhaps, an unexpected clinical finding. Chapter topics were selected because they occur commonly in the primary care setting or because they are likely to be first encountered by the primary care clinician. These topics include symptoms (e.g., dizziness), physical abnormalities (e.g., splenomegaly), and laboratory determinations (e.g., proteinuria). The chapters in the book are about diagnosis, and therapy is mentioned only if it might be relevant to diagnosis, such as the response of an inflamed joint to colchicine.
