Book News Annotation:

New edition of a text that emphasizes the key clinical data essential to decision-making and critical use of tests in primary care medicine. Goroll and Mulley (both of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School) present 16 chapters by a range of medical experts that discuss the principles of primary care; systemic, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hematological and oncologic, endocrinological, gynecological, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, neurologic, dermatologic, opthalmic, psychiatric, and ear, nose and throat problems; and allied fields. Each chapter ends with practical recommendations that incorporate the best available evidence, expert consensus guidelines, clinical judgment, and everyday common sense.
