Kurzbeschreibung
General Practice (or Primary Care) is often the first, and main, contact people have with the medical profession. Medical students spend a significant amount of time in primary and community care settings, and in many schools it provides their first exposure to patients. This title in the Clinical Cases Uncovered series presents a broad range of real cases likely to present in primary care, and offers excellent insight into the variety and day-to-day life of a General Practitioner.
