Provides an introduction to the processes involved in developing diagnostic thinking. This book demonstrates how to use information from the patient's history and physical examination to develop the differential diagnosis into an ordered list of likeliest causes. It presents cases of three clinical settings outpatient, inpatient non-ICU, and ICU.

This book is organized into four logical sections. Section 1 is a thorough introduction to the processes involved in developing critical diagnostic thinking. It demonstrates how to use information from the patient's history and physical examination to develop the differential diagnosis: an ordered list of likeliest causes. The other sections of the book present cases typical of three broad clinical settings: outpatient, inpatient non-ICU, and ICU. Each of the chapters in these sections begins with a clinical vignette posing an important respiratory problem with an accompanying description of the history and physical examination. This is followed by a review of the common and uncommon causes of the patient's symptom(s). The likelihood of a specific cause of the symptom is then analyzed using the specific features of the patient's history and physical examination. Finally, each chapter closes with a section on some of the more common pitfalls in diagnosing the patient.
