Recenzje

"The more clinical cases one studies, the better the critical skills one develops in learning how to approach the numerous complaints one may encounter, along with developing the understanding that there can be many presentations of a common diagnosis. This books adds a number of cases to help this development." (Doody Enterprises 2016)
