A Handbook

This book presents the approach to selected problems that clinicians often find difficult to diagnose or treat. At first, the topics may seem eclectic, but they have been chosen to reflect areas in which I—as a clinician like you—always seem to need to know more (such as genetic disorders and diabetes mellitus), am sometime puzzled as to the etiology (such as headache, thyroid disease, anemia, fatigue, and skin rashes), or am frustrated when problems sometimes do not respond to my best management efforts (such as when patients overeat, drink too much alcohol, or misuse drugs).
