Clear concise practical book that covers more than just differentials!
This book is perfect if your in need to improve your problem solving skills as it not only gives you the differentials for a particular subject e.g. dysphagia but it also lists the positive factors you should be looking forward to in the history and examination. As is that wasnt enough, it also then states investigations that should be considered and what you should look for in the results!!

It's a really easy to read book, that's tiny and easy to carry...I previously bought symptom sorter and wish I hadnt as this book is much better!!

Excellent Differential Dx Resource
I bought this book to help with osce preparation and was very impressed by the simplicity of the layout and ease of use. I would recommend this for anyone who 1)wants to improve the way they approach signs and symptoms, 2)has trouble with categorizing differentials (e.g. via system involved) and 3)need an additional resource to accompany a larger reference text. This book is definitely worth having in your collection.

A diamond in the Rough
The majority of textbooks be it Oxford handbooks up to Haslett etc. focus on the medical condition and tell you all about it, hopefully. Unfortunately, the skill of the clinician is that of diagnosis of a patient from history and examination. Patients do not present with a condition, they present with signs and symptoms. Most texts, it can be said work backwards, whereas, finally, a book exists that works forwards, from symptom to clues with differentials, history and appropriate investigations.
This book is superb and probably one of my most useful purchases if not the most useful. It is clear, concise yet reassuringly thorough and dependable. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Its only let down is absence os sections on collapse, hypotension and photophobia and loss of conciousness. On the assessment unit, collapse is a common presenting complaint and a chapter on this would have been very useful, at least.
Oh and yes, its a pretty cover design and colour too.
