TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preface A1 - Doherty, Gerard M. PY - 2014 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Surgery, 14e AB - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Surgery is a ready source of information about diseases managed by surgeons. Like other books in the Lange series, it emphasizes quick recall of major diagnostic features and brief descriptions of disease processes, followed by approaches for definitive diagnosis and treatment. Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and pathology are discussed to the extent that they contribute to the ultimate purpose of the book, which is guidance for patient care. About one-third of the book is focused on general medical and surgical topics important in the management of all patients.
