Making Sense of Acute Medicine: a guide to diagnosis details a symptomatic approach to acute medicine. It begins with a preface that states that many junior doctors seem to employ a ‘scattergun approach to diagnosis’, and often ‘multiple tests’ are requested when a more thoughtful p r o b l e m – b a s e d approach might be better employed. The authors, both Professors of Medicine, are clearly experienced physicians with a wealth of clinical and teaching expertise.
