Listening to Gynaecological Patients' Problems Book

This second edition of Listening to Gynaecological Patients'Problems retains the unique and successful approach of its predecessor and attempts to help students of gynaecology (including everyone from students learning the subject for the first time, through postgraduates, to practitioners) to approach their patients as people as distinct from pathological entities, to listen to them, and to communicate with them. In order to help achieve this, the text is divided according to symptoms or related groups of symptoms. Within each division, pertinent questions are listed in the words that might be used in addressing a patient. This is followed by a key explaining the significance of the questions and a brief discussion of the problems under consideration. It is hoped that this approach will facilitate the taking and interpretation of case histories, thus aiding differential diagnosis and clinical management, and will initiate the process of self-teaching.Read More
