Signs and Symptoms a REAL help
As a homoeopathic practitioner I am expected to consult patients with a wide range of diseases. Many times those diseases are not very prevalent and I need quick access to common and obscure signs and symptoms to provide the best care for my patients. Signs and Symptoms is and EXCELLENT help. It sits on my desk and I use it daily! I find it simple and quick to use yet comprehensive enough for clinical use. It is also great as a memory aide to keep one sharp on your differential diagnostics. I would recommend this book to any professional!
