✦ Synopsis

This is a book of questions asked by a GP and answered by a consultant neurologist based on the fact that 30 per cent of all acute admissions have a neurological element. The idea of this book is to suggest an approach to some of the neurological problems faced by a GP in his surgery revealing that a large part of a GP's exposure to neurological medicine is a mixture of the diagnostic and the situational. Mention is also made of investigations such as EEG, CT scan and angiography
