BEDSIDE INTERNAL MEDICINE 2027: An Evidence-Based Clinical Reference to Diagnosis, Pharmacotherapy, and Inpatient Management Across Every Organ System - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Clinical reasoning for the ward—from the first uncertain hour to the day the patient goes home

Internal medicine is practised at the bedside, and its hardest moments arrive without warning: breathlessness at two in the morning, a potassium of 6.8 on a routine panel, or an older man who was lucid yesterday and confused today.

Bedside Internal Medicine 2027 is written for hospitalists, internists, residents on medical rotations, and advanced practice clinicians who carry the admitting pager. It is organized around the decisions clinicians actually make.

Eighteen chapters. Eighteen patients. Each chapter begins with an ordinary admission and an incomplete picture, explains the underlying mechanism before management, presents the diagnostic approach and prescribing logic, and closes by returning to the same patient to resolve the case step by step.

What the Book Covers

Prescribing Explained, Not Just Listed

• How kidney function and age affect the decision
