100 Cases in Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Medicine , 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)
by Ashish Chandra , Praful Ravi and Eamon Shamil , editors
A 77-year-old guy dials “999” after developing excruciating back pain . When the paramedics come , he is clammy , chilly and in excruciating pain .
They observe that he smokes and inquire about a history of hypertension while they are at his place . On the way to the hospital , he becomes tachycardic and hypotensive and IV fluids are started . His initial assessment has been assigned to you. One hundred clinical scenarios that are frequently seen by medical students and junior physicians in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics , operating rooms or general practice are presented in 100 Cases in Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Medicine .
The patient’s history, examination and preliminary investigations are briefly summarised and then each case is asked about , with a focus on how to interpret the data and how knowing the underlying clinical pathology is essential to making the right diagnosis . The response provides a thorough explanation of each subject and serves as a useful study tool for students and junior physicians , particularly those getting ready for undergraduate and graduate exams .
One of the most significant and difficult aspects of training to become a doctor is making prompt and appropriate clinical decisions and deciding on the best course of action to follow as a result . These realistic cases , which have been completely updated and revised for the second edition , will help students and junior physicians gain valuable experience in identifying significant clinical conditions , requesting the proper pathological investigation , correctly interpreting the results and developing their diagnostic and management skills .
