The Compulsive Empath: A Guide to the Hard Parts of Adult Primary Care

This isn't just another text full of rehashed disease models and facts you can obtain anywhere. Instead, written in a humorous and conversational style, this book will provide you with insights gleaned from the author's over 30 years of practical experience in adult primary care, plus: * A comprehensive treatment of primary care psychiatry, including mood disorders, chronic pain and mind-body medicine; * A manual of common musculoskeletal problems that you probably didn't learn much about in med school or residency, but that you see every day, AND steroid injection techniques; * A discussion of the basic facets of being a primary care doctor: knowing, connecting, deciding, and communicating; * New, efficient and often more effective approaches to common complaints like headaches, dizziness, and fatigue; * A score of diagnoses you must never, ever miss (but surely will if you aren't vigilant); * And more!
