T2  - The Patient History: An Evidence-Based Approach to Differential Diagnosis, 2e
AB  - When  first  seeing  patients  in  clinics  and  on  the  wards,  the  learning  curve  is  steep.  During  these  early  encounters,  it  is  often  a  struggle  to  ask  the  right  questions,  follow  up  on  the  answers,  and  sort  the  information  into  the  appropriate  categories.  On  the  other  hand,  when  watching  a  seasoned  clinician  take  a  medical  history,  it  all  seems  natural  and  effortless.  The  interview  flows  smoothly  and  the  medical  history  falls  seamlessly  into  place.  Over  time,  clinicians  develop  a  personal  interview  style,  integrating  the  information  in  this  book  and  experience  with  patients.  The  following  guidelines  are  some  “tricks  of  the  trade”  that  may  help  the  student—at  whatever  stage  of  training  or  practice—to  dodge  some  of  the  usual  obstacles  to  efficient,  effective  medical  history  taking.
