This book takes a problem-oriented approach to the evaluation
of common symptoms presenting to medical students. It begins with
guidance in history taking and examination leading the student on
to neurological examination. The following sections outline all
the common presenting symptoms, such as forgetfulness, dizziness
or pain, and relate them to the spectrum of neurological conditions
and diseases. Some case histories are used to illustrate problems
and the book ends with a section of MCQ’s.
This is the second in a new series which aims to help medical students
to think like doctors. By combining a symptom and problem-based
approach with systematic coverage, the book will appeal to instructors
and students on traditional and integrated courses.
