Macleod's Clinical Diagnosis is a practical manual for evaluating and diagnosing problems based on presenting symptoms.

The book covers the principles of the diagnostic process, then takes the reader step-by-step through common acute medical presentations and how to interpret symptoms in context to produce a differential diagnosis.
