100 Cases in General Practice

by Anne E. Stephenson, Martin Mueller, John Grabinar

The aim of the 100 Cases series is to provide a novel learning and revision tool that works by guiding the student through clinical cases, imitating those that students and Foundation Year doctors are likely to meet in a general practice setting. The cases are written to interest students in
clinical problems, and to help them develop their skills of clinical reasoning with each scenario providing details of a patient's medical history and the key findings of a clinical examination, together with initial investigation results data for examination. Key questions then prompt the student
to evaluate the patient, and reach a decision regarding their condition and the possible treatment plan, while the answer pages enable the reader to understand the processes a clinician goes through in such situations. The volumes are designed with the student in mind, and include features to aid
self-directed learning, clinical thinking, and problem-solving.

This book is not nearly as good as are the '100 Cases in Acute Medicine' and the '100 Cases in Clinical Medicine' books. Some of these cases and their answers were really poor. I'm probably closer to one star than three, but at least it was a relatively easy read.
