In the acute setting, the clinician must consider not only the most likely diagnosis, but also less likely diagnoses that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Frequently Overlooked Diagnoses analyzes 25 common conditions that are often missed in acutely ill patients and provides the information you need for getting the diagnosis right.
