Summary: This much-beloved classic text is newly revised with an added chapter on diverticulitis, a re-examination of the use of analgesics and updated recommendations regarding trauma, radiologic studies and therapeutic recommendations. Like previous editions, it is filled with the pearls of clinical wisdom that students and practitioners treasure, many of which apply to medicine in general. Because acute, severe abdominal pain is still a common problem whose misdiagnosis can result in quick death, each generation of beginning physicians is faced with the urgency of learning to make a diagnosis in this high-anxiety situation, and they continue to appreciate the wise, humane, precisely detailed guidance offered by Cope and Silen.
