Synopsis

'French's Index of Differential Diagnosis' is a key Butterworth-Heinemann medical text, catering as it does for all the medical and surgical subspecialties. About 30% of the content of the book relates to surgical conditions and their differential diagnosis. A new book based on the larger text, 'French's Index of Surgical Differential Diagnosis' extracts the surgical conditions and presents them in a more synoptic form for those specifically interested in the surgical content.

Review:

This is a clearly written and well-edited book that will be of great assistance to the surgical trainee and consultant surgeon. It is not just a reference work to consult when a difficult diagnostic problem presents itself, although for that purpose it is of inestimable value - encyclopaedic and practical. It is also an excellent companion to the studies of the trainee surgeon - encouraging him, or her, to think laterally and fostering the lost art of differential diagnosis based on the presenting clinical features. ... this is an excellent book. My one regret is that I did not have it as a guide and companion throughout my surgical career. I recommend it to trainee and established surgeon alike.
