Life would be much simpler for GPs if patients presented with diagnoses. Unfortunately, they do not: they present with symptoms, which are frequently vague, sometimes multiple, and occasionally obscure. It is up to the GP to create some order from this chaos. However, the vast majority of clinical texts adopt a diagnosis, rather than symptom-based, approach, and the few which do reflect the reality of patient presentations are inevitably orientated towards hospital medicine and so are irrelevant to GPs.

This eBook Symptom Sorter 5th Edition Free PDF, originally serialized, in a diff errant form, in Doctor magazine, aims to redress the
balance. It analyses a multitude of symptoms commonly seen in primary care and, for each,
presents diff entails, distinguishing features, possible investigations, and key points. The only
omissions are presentations for which there are so few differentials that diagnosis is really quite
simple (e.g. ‘lump on elbow’); those which rarely present in isolation (e.g. nausea, anorexia); and
those which are so rare that the reader would be sure to require specialist advice (our personal
favorite being ‘pilimiction’).

Written by two full-time GP principals, its perspective is very much grassroots primary care – though informed by the latest evidence and guidance where possible or appropriate – and its appeal is therefore wide. GP registrars and young principals, relatively unfamiliar with the protean presentations possible in general practice, will be able to check their diagnostic hypotheses against the information in the book; the more experienced GP might use it as a refresher or as a pointer to a more exotic diagnosis in an unusual case; and the nurse practitioner, taking increasing responsibility as the first port of call in primary care for many patients, will find the contents unique and essential.

Abdomen Overview

The sudden onset of severe abdominal pain represents a genuine emergency in general practice and is a common out-of-hours call. In the true acute abdomen, the patient is obviously ill, and as the clinical condition may deteriorate rapidly, ensure that you examine the patient as soon as possible. NOTE: upper and mid-abdominal pain are dealt with here. Lower abdominal pain is dealt with under ‘acute pelvic pain’ and specifically epigastric-type pain is covered in more detail in the epigastric pain section.

Anorectal Overview

Straight out of the list of ‘Embarrassing things to see your GP about this is a presentation that patients love to hate. From a GP perspective, it’s one that is generally straightforward to deal with, and effective treatment can usually be offered immediately, much to the patient’s relief

Cerebral Overview

There are hundreds of possible individual causes of confusion. Patients with acute confusion are usually elderly and often present out of hours via a call from an anxious relative or neighbor. The dementias constitute the chronic confessional states, which are not considered here.
