Product Description
Appropriate for the clinician managing COPD in either the primary or secondary care setting, Clinicians' Guide to COPD considers epidemiology, diagnosis and management, concentrating on how patients really present to the clinician.Clinicians' Guide to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Hodder Arnold Publication) Review
YES! This book is written extremely well-- as if the author is having a one-on-one teaching session with you, telling you all about his experience, current research, treatment, etc with COPD. I am only a first year medical student, and I find this book simple enough to grasp the basic concepts of the illness, but it seems to include enough advanced material to give even a fully-trained specialist a quick overview of the illness. (I assume I wouldn't understand quite a few of the chapters at this early stage in my education. But just reading the first few chapters on cause, symptoms, prevention have given me an excellent introduction to this illness).Chapters:
Definition and pathophysiology
Epidemiology of COPD
Clinical diagnosis
Disease prevention
Medical management
COPD exacerbations
Outcome measures
COPD at the primary-secondary care interface
Case studies
Great diagrams, photos, overview of medications and treatments. Very entertaining!
My only regret is that Dr. Howes hasn't written more medical books (an entertaining biochem book would be good!)
