Description
Hunt & Marshall’s Clinical Problems in Surgery discusses common problems encountered in the clinical practice of surgery and how
to solve and treat them. The approach of the text will be to encourage diagnostic economy, and to this end students will be assisted
to develop skills in pattern recognition, appreciation of the natural history and prognosis of individual problems and their causative
diseases, and an ability to come to the core of the patient’s presenting problem, while maintaining an holistic approach to the unique
requirements of the individual patient. The text is designed to help the student understand the questions raised at each level of the
of the diagnostic, therapeutic and overall decision making tree and thereby to construct an appropriate pathway of management for each
clinical problem.
Audience:
Undergraduate medical students undertaking clinical experience in surgery throughout the duration of the medical course in a post graduate medical course this will begin in years 2/3.
