Introducing the first evidence-based casebook for hospital
clinicians

This book introduces illustrated, evidence-based clinical cases
drawn from real-world hospital practice. Geared to the needs of
hospital clinicians, Clinical Care Conundrums: Challenging
Diagnoses in Hospital Medicine focuses on sharpening clinical
reasoning and diagnostic skills, giving readers the tools to
recognize and diagnose a wide array of diseases, while promoting
diagnostic safety in hospital medicine.

Written by leading experts on the topics under discussion, this
volume offers a hand-picked collection of case studies from the
widely popular Clinical Care Conundrum (CCC) series found in the
Journal of Hospital Medicine. Each chapter presents a case
to an expert clinician, who explains his or her approach to
diagnosing challenging medical dilemmas. Each chapter concludes
with a concise review of recent literature and, if applicable, with
discussions of cognitive errors that may impact clinical diagnosis
and patient care. Readers will find:

* An appealing presentation style that combines high-quality
images and text

* Coverage of both common conditions and uncommon but important
diseases encountered in the hospital setting

* A look at the state of the art of clinical reasoning, an area
of critical interest to clinicians

* Practical "pearls" for each case study that readers can apply
in their own practice

Clinical Care Conundrums is an indispensable reference
for hospitalists, hospital-based physicians and midlevel providers,
physicians-in-training, and the many other medical practitioners
who come up against difficult cases on a daily basis.
