<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Harrison's is intended for learners throughout their careers. For students, Part 1, Chapter 1 begins with an overview of "The Practice of Medicine." In this introductory chapter, the editors continue the tradition of orienting clinicians to the science and the art of medicine, emphasizing the values of our profession while incorporating new advances in technology, science, and clinical care. Part 2, "Cardinal Manifestations and Presentation of Diseases" is a signature feature of Harrison's. These chapters eloquently describe how patients present with common clinical conditions, such as headache, fever, cough, palpitations, or anemia, and provide an overview of typical symptoms, physical findings, and differential diagnosis. Mastery of these topics prepares students for subsequent chapters on specific diseases they will encounter in courses on pathophysiology and in clinical clerkships"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p></p><p><b>Publisher's Note: </b><b>Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.</b></p><p></p><p></p><b><i>MASTER MODERN MEDICINE!</i></b><p></p><p><b>Introducing the Landmark Twentieth Edition of the Global Icon of Internal Medicine</b></p><p><b>The definitive guide to internal medicine is more essential than ever with the latest in disease mechanisms, updated clinical trial results and recommended guidelines, state-of-the art radiographic images, therapeutic approaches and specific treatments, hundreds of demonstrative full-color drawings, and practical clinical decision trees and algorithms</b></p><p><b><i>A Doody's Core Title for 2020!</i></b></p><p></p><p></p><p>Recognized by healthcare professionals worldwide as the leading authority on applied pathophysiology and clinical medicine, <i>Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine</i> gives you the informational foundation you need to provide the best patient care possible.</p><p><b><i>Essential for practice and education, the landmark 20th Edition features: </i></b></p><ul><li><b>Thoroughly revised content</b>--covering the many new breakthroughs and advances in clinical medicine that have occurred since the last edition of <i>Harrison's</i>.
