“Even for experienced health professionals this book will be extremely useful as a quick reference to have handy in the surgery. Because it is impossible to cover everything during a brief clinical assessment, the book tries to point out those areas that should be considered when faced with important and potentially tricky clinical presentations. (...) As someone who is passionate about general practice and GP education, I’m proud to recommend this book by Knut Schroeder as an excellent contribution to the genre. “ - Professor Steve Field FRCGP, Chairman, Royal College of General Practitioners in the Foreword
