Written by residents, fellows, and attending physicians, this handbook is ideal for students working on an inpatient or outpatient medicine service, residents called on to do an inpatient consults, and for specialist fellows seeking information on pulmonology diagnosis and management. It will also make an ideal reference for physicians in general internal medicine practice. The book covers inpatient and outpatient approaches, symptoms and diseases, and acute and chronic problems with the same front-lines practicality as the world-famous Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics.
