Together with Wiener's "Differential Diagnosis of Acute Pain", this book forms a complete diagnostic catalogue for any and all symptoms encountered in the office or hospital setting. A series of pain-pattern diagrams at the beginning of the text helps the reader identify the body region of the presenting symptom. Then, for each region, diagnosis is facilitated by: a list of possible disorders; a "Table of incidence" of all disorders; and a step-by-step review of each probable disorder - all leading to the correct differential.
