Organized by patient symptoms or complaints, this book follows a systematic approach beginning with a chief concern rather than a specific diagnosis or disease entity, then guides you step-by-step through a diagnostic reasoning process to lead to a clinical diagnosis. This edition includes new chapters on veterans’ health and on contemporary approaches in primary care settings, as well as updated content on issues such as race, ethnicity, and gender identity.
