- Up-to-date treatment recommendations
- More than 100 unique case histories covering the entire spectrum of neurology
- Addresses neurology residents looking for a personal clinical mentor, guiding them through the entire patient encounter
Neurologists, perhaps more so than any other physicians, take pride in their bedside skills.
Good clinical mentorship is mandatory in order to develop such skills; however, due to an ever-increasing need for more efficient working structures, the time and dedication that mentorship requires may not always be available. Neurology at the Bedside was written to fill this gap.
Neurology at the Bedside addresses neurology residents looking for a personal clinical mentor. It takes them by the hand and guides them through the whole patient encounter - from an efficient neurological history according to neuroanatomical key features and the bedside examination to differential diagnosis, diagnostic procedures and lastly, the treatment. At each step
Neurology at the Bedside points out what is essential and what is not.
One of the most innovative areas in medicine, neurology is under rapid development with ever-increasing diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities. This exciting progress calls for an update of the text. All chapters will be thoroughly revised and reflect the essential state-of-the-art knowledge neurologists need to acquire during their training.
Compared to the 2nd edition, the authors will add new graphic material and case histories and update the text carefully to include the newest diagnostic procedures and therapeutic recommendations.
