Images of Memorable Cases: 50 Years at the Bedside
$85.49
Book
Dedicated to "the resurrection and preservation of bedside medicine," and written by one of the nation's most prominent medical educators, Images of Memorable Cases... presents the reader with 154 medical patients, along with a picture (the book includes more than 200 color images) and the information that was given the original doctor when the patient arrived at the clinic or emergency room. The reader is challenged to look at the picture, read the information, and make a diagnosis before turning the page to see the correct diagnosis. Prominent physicians describe Images of Memorable Cases... as "the best medical book I've ever read," "a tour de force in a currently underutilized genre," "a truly marvelous collection of medical images that would be very hard to find in one place anywhere else," and "a beautifully illustrated book [that] should be required reading for all medical students and housestaff."
Dr. Herbert L. Fred is the author of more than 400 publications, including three books, providing philosophical insight into disease, the practice of medicine, the challenge of difficult diagnoses, and the exhilaration of true scholarship. Among his innumerable awards is a Presidential Citation given him by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. He is an emeritus member of the American Osler Society and has served on the editorial boards of numerous national medical journals. He is currently Professor of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
