Philip A. Mackowiak

Not much new on the patients or their conditions. Kind of dry reading.

This was a wonderfully interesting book for those nerdy types like myself who love a good mystery and some probable explanation for a medical diagnosis. I LOVED the format. desined to be just like a CPC, the history and physical findings were great and the follow up differential diagnosis was very thorough. A basic knowlege of medicine was useful (and for me fun in trying to guess the diagnosis myself) but certainly not necessary.
