The first case-based guide to primary care for women

Useful for care-givers ranging from medical students to physicians to nurse practitioners, Women's Health is a much-needed review of case studies relating to a subject that until recently was sorely neglected: non-OB women's health issues. Covering such subjects as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary problems, neurology, and psychiatric disorders, it serves as a practical, overall review of women's health issues.

Dozens of key clinical topics routinely encountered in the care of women are detailed, as are case vignettes that review basic science concepts and help you put those concepts into the framework of clinical medicine. This one-of-a-kind book is printed in an attractive two-color format and contains 48 full-color photos of skin and eye conditions. As medical schools and training programs begin to pay more serious attention to women's issues, health-care professionals need to remain up to date on the subject. Women's Health is the only book to approach the issue in a practical, case-based format.
