About the Book

"The handbook provides essential clinical information in a concise, organized, easy to follow sequence for working through complex conditions frequently encountered in practice. This book positions itself between textbooks (which are characteristically in depth and require study) and care pathways or clinical guidelines, which are formulated and designed for specific conditions and interventions. The handbook should be a first pass of necessary information that can be accessed and used in the timeframe of a clinical practice"--
