From a leading figure in Australian medicine comes this easy-to-use and very practical textbook of primary care medicine. It takes a diagnostic approach to the patient, addresses common symptoms and presents a systematic review of the physical examination, probable causes and treatment strategies. Superb illustrations clearly show exam techniques and an abundance of tables assist differential diagnosis.
This is a very useful book (but not handy because it's very heavy) for a medical students or general practitioners or those who are going to sit for the AMC exam. Tell you exactly what you want to know and complete with these memorizable tips and very easy to comprehend and read. This an all in one book. It makes reading medical book from a boring to fun activity. Well done Mr. Murtagh.
An excellent reference book, not only for practising family physicians, but also for doctors undertaking postgraduate exams - and for all doctors (whatever their sub-speciality) who are called on to provide general medical advice to friends and family. John Murtagh writes with a readable style but provides comprehensive cover of conditions met with in general practice. Highly recommended
