Description
This new book is a well-written and succinct overview of 25 diseases that are commonly overlooked by physicians in the acute setting,
and the bulk of these conditions are quite common. If not considered, they could lead to significant morbidity or mortality. For each

lab findings, treatment, and a valuable list of key summary points.
