Approaching a patient with a history of
neurological problems can be difficult for medical students because of
the unique nature of the presentation, which includes extremely
specific symptoms that differ from other medical systems'
presentations. They may find it difficult to gather relevant
information through neurological history taking, tailor their questions
to unique patient conditions, and adjust their approach in response to
patient feedback. This can lead to confusion and frustration, often
stemming from ineffective communication with the patient rather than a
lack of medical knowledge.
This book
is your definitive guide to mastering the art of patient interviews in
neurology. This book is a wonderful resource for neurology residents,
rotating psychiatry, neurosurgery, medicine interns, medical students,
and anybody interested in neurology. It provides a systematic approach
to gathering information and efficiently diagnosing neurological
disorders. The first section of this book covers the process of
gathering a full neurological history, beginning with the first
introduction and the requisite patient communication skills before
progressing to symptom analysis.
It
includes a comprehensive list of common neurological symptoms that you
can face during in-person patient contacts. Each subsequent section
provides an in-depth review of one of these symptoms, guiding you on
the appropriate questions to ask and, more significantly, understanding
the significance of each response from the patient.
Furthermore,
the book is supplemented by the use of illustrations and tables, which
help medical students, junior doctors and residents grasp and retain
key neurological concepts for a long time.
