Robert W. Schrier, ed. 468 pages. Boston: Little, Brown; 1994. $29.95.
Cases that relate to 89 clinical problems developed by an internal medicine residency teaching staff. The format is this: A patient is presented; questions about cause, diagnostic approach, therapy, prognosis, and more are asked and then answered. There is no mystery: The topic of the case is announced before the case is presented. The medicine is straightforward; the answers to the questions are adequately complete. Useful for those in training and also worth a browse by those who want an up-to-date review of many commonly and less commonly seen clinical presentations.
