Medical School for Everyone

Grand Rounds Cases

De: Roy Benaroch, The Great Courses

Narrado por: Roy Benaroch

There's an art and science behind how doctors diagnose and treat medical patients. Where do doctors get these skills? The Grand Rounds experience, where they practice how to make accurate diagnoses by examining real patients. And with Dr. Benaroch's 24 unique lectures, you'll explore how a master physician solves medical problems just like a detective.

Whether you're a patient, a current or future medical professional, or just someone who enjoys a good mystery, you'll discover how doctors use medical science to identify and combat injuries and diseases; how they uncover tiny clues patients can fail to notice; how they sometimes make misdiagnoses that lead to costly (and life-threatening) problems; and how they think their way toward putting patients on the fast track to proper treatment.

Drawn from actual medical stories, these 24 Grand Rounds take you everywhere from the calm of a doctor's office to the chaos of an emergency room. You'll hear how a 33-year-old man's fever and mouth sores are clues to one of today's most notorious diseases; why an explorer's life-threatening nausea and pain demand emergency surgery; how doctors treat a trauma patient at the site of an accident; and much more.

Dr. Benaroch has crafted a rewarding learning experience; one packed with thrilling Grand Rounds cases that will captivate you, that will provide you with an exciting new way to think about medicine, and that will help you become a better, more informed patient.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great for health professional hopeful

Any additional comments?

This is a must have for anyone trying to get into med/DO/dent/pharm. Many health professional schools are forgoing lectures and going towards "problem-based learning" as the basis for teaching their curriculum; much the same way as this audiobook. Differential diagnosis is the main theme here. It gives you insight into how a skill physician interprets sign, symptom, lab values, radiographs etc. in order to come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan. I hope Dr. Benaroch does more of these grand rounds

Good review for anyone

I am a Physician Assistant and have been in practice over 25 years. All of the cases have been a great review for me. Very well done. Thank you.

Great Medical Info

The way material was presented in clearly explained case studies made it easily understandable and informative. The reader learns a great deal.

informative, fun, and just amazing

Would you consider the audio edition of Medical School for Everyone to be better than the print version?

I never write a review for a book before but I have to give 5 stars to Professor Roy. He is amazing. The content is extremely well put together. you will get to practice a lot of clinical thinking. This is a MUST have for me.

Which scene was your favorite?

the case of chronic hives

well thought out

I learned a lot of the things I wanted to learn. I didn't get a chance to challenge myself or find sources, but that's what good textbooks are for. this is no textbook. it's invigorating and intelligent. I can ask little more from an audiobook.
