Prepared by residents and chief residents with senior faculty
advisors at the Washington University School of Medicine, this
handbook is a current, concise, and easily accessible quick
reference on the common problems that a gastroenterologist
encounters on a daily basis. It covers both inpatient and
outpatient approaches with the same front-lines practicality as
the world-famous Washington Manual™ of Medical Therapeutics.
The book contains separate symptom-oriented and disease-oriented
sections and covers a wide range of acute and chronic problems,
including irritable bowel syndrome, acute liver disease,
cirrhosis, and pancreatic disorders. A chapter on
gastrointestinal procedures is included.
This handbook is also available electronically for handheld
computers. See PDA listing for details.
The Washington Manual™ is an intent-to-use mark belonging to
