Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This invaluable Handbook provides a compendium of investigation relevant to modern medical practice. The first part of the book is patient-centred, describing key symptoms and signs along with tests which may be useful in reaching a diagnosis. The second part of the book is specialty-centred, and provides a comprehensive review of all available tests within a given subject. It provides a synopsis of most of the investigative techniques used in the basic medical sciences and the
major clinical specialties. In addition there are sections devoted to imaging tests (radiology and nuclear medicine).
Long description:
Modern medicine is highly complex and investigations are a key part of the diagnostic process. With major advances in technology there are thousands of clinical and laboratory tests available. This book provides a patient-oriented approach to investigation (first part of book) where key symptoms and signs are described along with tests that may be of value in reaching a diagnosis. The remainder of the book is specialty-centred and provides a comprehensive review of all available
tests within a given subject. The book emphasises which tests are of value, when tests are not likely to be helpful, along with pitfalls in the interpretation of results. The aim is of the book is to provide a more rational method of investigation and prevent over-investigation which is expensive for
the hospital and unpleasant for the patient.
The contributors are all active clinicians who are engaged in medical practice, so appreciate the problems faced by junior doctors. The book should also be of value to senior medical students who will be facing finals examinations, and who will soon be on the wards and responsible for ordering tests on their patients.
...the perfect practical protocol companion for clinical research scientists.
