  Crash Course Gastroenterology reflects the way in which you deal with patients in real-life situations. First, it takes the reader through the common patient presentation associated with gastrointestinal disease and their differential diagnoses. Part II considers the history and the examination of the patient with a gastrointestinal disorder. This is followed by guidelines on how to write up a medical clerking and a consideration of the common investigations in gastroenterology. Part III takes the conditions outlined in Part I and considers them in much more detail, looking at background information and management plans. Multiple choice, short-answer and case-based questions make up Part IV and allow you to assess your understanding and test your exam performance after you have studied the text. Features: * Hints and Tips Boxes draw attention to key content and give advice on how to remember the concepts * Extensive use of colour artwork helps reader understand the more complex material and to retain factual information * The self-assessment section enables the student to test knowledge through exam-format questions * Detailed indexing helps the reader locate relevant sections fast
