2ND EDITION

IN THIS NEW EDITION MANY NEW CASES ARE ADDED AND MOST OF THESE ARE REVIEWED AND UPDATED.
THIS EDITION IS DIVIDED IN TO THREE PARTS
1, ABBREVIATIONS.
2, SYSTEM RELATED CASES.

THE FIRST 20 CASES ARE ARRANGED BY SYSTEMS BUT THE NEXT 80 ARE IN RANDOM ORDER SINCE IN MEDICINE SYMPTOMS SUCH AS BREATHLESSNESS AND PAIN MAY RELATE TO MANY DIFFERENT  CLINICAL PROBLEMS IN VARIOUS SYSTEMS.
MOST DOCTORS THINK THAT THE MOST MEMORABLE WAY TO LEARN MEDICINE IS TO SEE PATIENTS. IT IS EASIER TO RECALL INFORMATION BASED ON A REAL PERSON THAN A PAGE IN A TEXTBOOK. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE RETENTION OF INFORMATION IS THE DEPTH OF LEARNING .
LEARNING THAT SEEKS TO UNDERSTANDS PROBLEMS IS MORE LIKELY TO B ACCESSIBLE LATER THAN SUPERFICIAL FACTUAL ACCUMULATION. THIS IS THE BASES OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING WHERE STUDENTS EXPLORE PROBLEMS WITH THE HELP OF A FACILITATOR. 
THE CASES IN THIS BOOK ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ANOTHER USEFUL APPROACH PARALLEL TO SEEING PATIENTS AND GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF DIRECTED EXPLORATION OF CLINICAL PROBLEMS . THEY ARE BASED ON THE FINDING OF HISTORY TAKING AND EXAMINATION .TOGATHER WITH THE NEED TO AVALUATE INITIAL INVESTIGATION SUCH AS BLOOD INVESTIGATION ,X RAY AND ECG,S.
