| Summary |
Every doctor's point-of-care companion in the consultation room and on the ward, for respiratory disorders. A series of questions leads the reader logically through a case presentation, work-up, diagnosis and discussion of recent literature. Each case is concisely presented, including an algorithm where appropriate to show overall management strategies. This is a user-friendly resource for quick review and assessment of individual cases, covering the most common yet challenging cases seen by respiratory doctors. It will be extremely useful as a reference and training resource in the hospital |
