, ADVANCE PRAISE FOR HOW TO THINK LIKE A NEUROLOGIST
“Meltzer’s How to Think Like a Neurologist is even more than that—it’s a masterful clinical handbook for learning how to tackle unknown
What do you do if the diagnosis is not already obvious and there is no algorithm to follow? How do you tailor your history by asking probi
questions that will help to refine hypotheses? And how do you refute your hypotheses through directed, customized neurological examination
The syndromic approach beautifully elaborated by Meltzer is a prerequisite for delivering the kind of value-based and patient-centered care w
all seek—and to do so one patient at a time.”
—William J. Schwartz, MD, Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs, Distinguished Teaching Professor, Professor and Associa
Chair of Research & Education, Dept. of Neurology, Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Aus
“How to Think Like a Neurologist presents a clear, practical approach to clinical reasoning in neurology. Working step by step through
series of real-world cases, Dr. Meltzer uses a conversational style to elucidate the principles of neurologic diagnosis. This is essential readi
for students on their neurology rotation, residents in neurology, and any medical provider seeking to improve their understanding of clinic
neurology.”
—Aaron Berkowitz, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology, Kaiser Permanente, Los Angeles, CA and author of Clinical Neurolo
and Neuroanatomy: A Localization-Based Approa
“Finally, a book that captures the intangibles of neurologic diagnosis. The synthetic ability that combines knowledge of how diseases affect t
nervous system, personal clinical experience, and systematic inquiry is on display. Nowhere do these qualities come together more obviou
than in neurology. By analyzing clinical cases that delve into the inner workings of a master clinician, Meltzer has provided a terri
contribution to pedagogy and to clinical work in the field.”
