Medical Symptoms A Visual Guide

This book is divided into three parts. Part 1 deals with general complaints, where the symptoms cannot be pinpointed to any particular part of the body. Part 2 is a series of head-to-toe visual diagnostic guides that help to identify conditions or injuries where symptoms occur in specific areas of the body. A crossreference links to an easy-to-follow description of the condition in Part 3. All conditions are given a rating to suggest the urgency with which treatment should be sought. Potentially life-threatening situations and ailments that need urgent medical advice are clearly flagged.
