The mechanism of medicine has emerged, its humanism. The physician no longer ministers to a distinctive person but concerns himself with a particular malfunctioning organ. The distressed patient is frequently forgotten or relegated to the background. A thought process is essential for discussing and understanding a symptom. This book brings the doctor to the bedside of the patient for history, clinical examination, investigation, and finally diagnosis. This book discusses the art of medicine in a simple dialogue style - between the patient and the doctor - and shows through bedside teaching, the treatment of an illness or a disease, rahter than the patient. This illustrated volume contains 20 case studies and sensitises the reader to look at a patient holistically, not just at the body, but at the mind and emotions too. This unique volume teaches medicinal science as an art of healing, where modern medicine is not just restricted to science and technology.
