This book provides a review of common problems encountered in an outpatient, primary care practice. Each chapter reviews a single clinical topic by summarizing the approach to management, highlighting controversies, reviewing available data, and providing recommendations. The recommendations are supported by data from well-designed clinical trials. Recognizing the increasing emphasis placed on ambulatory care and the growth of managed care, the authors strive to upgrade the quality, cost-effectiveness, and specificity of outpatient care provided by primary care practitioners. Although indisputably worthwhile goals, the topics chosen for review by the authors limit their ability to fully achieve these goals. No "quick manual" of primary care can be all-encompassing. However, common problems encountered in the primary care setting, including orthopedics and dermatology problems, are not discussed. On the other hand, one chapter is devoted to the use of Beano to prevent intestinal g as. The book is geared toward primary care practitioners, specifically primary care internists, family medicine specialists, and ambulatory care practitioners. It would also be useful for medical students during their rotations through the outpatient setting. The authors do a credible job of presenting the topics they have chosen to review. The book includes no illustrations, figures, or tables. Each chapter is followed by a small number of recent, pertinent references. The index is helpful, but the table of contents is poorly organized and includes two separate sections on screening. Issues of special relevance to geriatric patients are scattered throughout, rather than grouped together. This book provides an interesting approach to reviewing important topics in primary care. However, the book can be recommended only with reservation because of the limited scope of problems addressed. Thomas J. Podsadecki, MD(University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine).
