They are not meant to be an exhaustive reference list, but rather to highlight the essential information that physicians should know. We believe that the information in Cecil Essentials of Medicine will encourage evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic decision making. Importantly, the rational approach to medical problem-solving must be interwoven with the attentive presence of the physician at the bedside, clinic or office, undistracted by electronic devices particularly the computer , displaying mindful humanistic patient care.
Humanistic practice includes integrity, compassion, altruism, respect, service, and empathy, but also excellence. Both the art and the science of medicine must be part of the approach to any patient encounter. We believe that the fundamentally important bond between care-giver and patient is the starting point to the care of the patient.
This is followed by a thorough history and a directed physical examination, which allow a diagnosis in the great majority of encounters. Laboratory data and imaging are supplementary.
The focus of the diagnostic process should be on diseases that are common and treatable. Common presentations of common diseases account for the vast majority of cases; next in frequency are unusual presentations of common diseases; less common are typical presentations of rare diseases. Concentrate on common diseases, but know the rare ones as well. We sincerely hope that Cecil Essentials of Medicine will be used to provide the basic and clinical data that are essential for us to practice medicine in a manner informed by both compassion and evidence, so that we may truly heal those with whose care we are entrusted.
