Clinical Problems in General Medicine and Surgery provides a succession of amazing clinical challenges for the reader. It's like a series of medical and surgical emergency shifts, where every patient has something substantial that's wrong with them. It is like real life - that is, the clinical problems are undiagnosed and they present with a series of symptoms, physical signs and abnormal investigations. And things often get worse before the patient improves. Scary stuff for the doctor in charge so best learned in advance, ideally in an armchair!.
