Cope’s Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen
Cope’s Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen Books
Product Description
Unparalleled in demonstrating the art of clinical diagnosis, this classic text has been used by several generations of medical students and house staff since its original publication seventy years ago. Painstakingly revised by one of America’s most distinguished gastrointestinal surgeons, it combines the enduring principles of prompt, right diagnosis of the acute abdomen with many fresh observations culled from Silen’s own experience. Retained from Cope’s original work are his emphasis on clinical diagnosis by direct examination, his highly readable style of writing, and the book’s overall structure. This edition is more substantially revised than the previous one as there is now a better understanding of the disease processes that cause abdominal pain, particularly in AIDS patients. Also new to this edition are discussions about diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound, which can be especially helpful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy and other problems in women. More radiographs have also been added.

As a General General practitioner in an undeveloped people (Dominican Republic) I have found this book very matter-of-fact in order we may diagnosis in and acute abdominal pathology without the help of TAC. Must of the time we use clinics and ultrasound and the book gives the keys for a close aproximation to the diagnosis.
Perhaps is a well loved book in USA but we have no translation of it in Spanish and I reckon it is brilliant for helping medical students and residents to improve in their knowledge about acute abdomen.

I readed this book the first time 26 years ago, and it gave me a “sixth” sence as a suregon. Today I, as orthopaedical general practitioner still have in my mind the essentials of the Dr. Cope’s master-piece. I reckon it must be as a duthy (“a must be read book”) in every serious medical school, to teach alumnii the general practitioner’s mind…even if the alumnii goes to clinical areas later on.

i really loved reading this. honestly, it reads like a novel with the author telling the tale of pts with acute abdominal pain. with so much reliance on CT, US etc nowadays, it is nice to get back to the basic H&P. i’m not sure if many folks in the USA read this but I reckon those that do will get a lot out of it, especially students!

As a PGY-1 doctor in general surgery, I really loved this book. It helps me a lot in the administration of my acute patients, especially when I’m on call and lonely with myself in the ER and I have to take quick decisions about treatments based on my presomptive diagnosis. In this matter, the different sections about differential diagnosis are very helpfull. About negative aspects, all I can tell is the poor quality of the various illustrations you can find in this book, who merely earn an upgrade to 21th century standards.

My attending on Gen Surg in 3rd year clerkships required that I read this before i ongoing. It was a quick read, that really gets you thought about diagnosis. I would urge that all med students, regardless of profession, read it.
