Description
The authors of this book have described the most frequently encountered complaints and disorders that do not pose a serious health threat,
often have a good prognosis and have not been paid much attention during medical education or in scientific papers. The basic principle
of this book is to provide relevant and reliable information on minor ailments, as far as possible based on scientific evidence. The
119 chapters have uniform format and are written in a crisp and concise way that make them easily accessible in daily practice.
