Harrison's Guide to Inpatient Medicine: Common Internal Medicine Diseases and Workups

A practical, point-of-care companion for the wards―backed by Harrison’s trusted expertise

Harrison's Guide to Inpatient Medicine: Common Internal Medicine Diseases and Workups bridges the gap between dense medical school textbooks and quick-reference pocket guides, providing a structure to help medical students, interns, and residents navigate the transition from the classroom to the bedside with practical inpatient protocols for the wards. Each highly templated symptom- or condition-based chapter guides the reader through the gathering of the patient history, performing the physical exam, arriving at a differential diagnosis, deciding which tests to order, formulating and adjusting a treatment plan, and anticipating complications.

Key points, clinical vignettes, and guiding questions are highlighted within the chapters so that medical students, interns, and residents can apply their knowledge to real-world cases and build confidence on the wards.
