If you're experiencing worrying symptoms, this essential guide to self-diagnosis will help you to decide what to do next. Written specifically for patients, it offers straightforward advice on all types of medical problem. The information is clearly arranged by symptom and body part and you can use this book to find advice even if you don't know the name of your medical condition.
Whatever you are suffering from, Black's Medical Symptoms puts the problem into perspective and suggests a range of causes divided into The Probable, The Possible and The Rare. The symptoms are organised in a logical, simple way, starting at the top of the body with the eyes, and working downwards towards the feet. A major section on 'general' symptoms comes last and the index enables users to look up both symptoms and illnesses.
