Full Description
Neurology is a complex field with many nuances specific to individual patients. Each patient's neurological condition can present uniquely, influenced by a myriad of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, comorbidities, and environmental exposures. This complexity means the traditional method of learning medicine by subject matter often fails to capture the essence of real-world clinical practice. Like all skills, proficiency in neurology is acquired through mindful practice. This involves deep analysis of each case, corrected in real-time by gold standards such as genetic tests, imaging, and pathology. To maintain and expand one's expertise, this process must be continually practiced throughout one's career.
Neurology: One Patient at a Time is a collection of clinical commentaries written by Dr. Martin A. Samuels based on cases covered in the daily "Morning Report", which he initiated in the department of Neurology at Brigham and Women's. Each case is meticulously analyzed, with relevant references to literature and his personal judgment as one of the world's leading neurologists. This blend of evidence-based concepts and expert interpretation allows for a more holistic approach to patient care. Containing more than 70 representative patient cases, Neurology: One Patient at a Time provides invaluable insights for trainees and experts alike.
