Decision Making for Disease Presentations: an Algorithmic Approach Mitra Ahmad Soltani

When facing a patient, a beginner doctor encounters a recall of his/her prior education about the subject matter. Both clinically relevant and irrelevant details pop up simultaneously leading to a thought block. To avoid this, he/she should employ some kind of text organizers (like tables or charts) about most common issues of his/her area of practice, and make protocols for a fast reference. The aim of this handbook is based on CDC's publication of the most prevalent diagnoses to provide protocols of managing the emergency cases when limited time allows just a single glance at a chart or a table.
